Memory of Our Song
I miss your fingers on the piano,
As you close your eyes and coalesce with the melody,
The tune you play is the music of our hearts,
And the beauty of your music is my life.
That was the past and now I'm living in this lonely present.
Everytime I close my eyes I hear your voice,
Everyday of my life I hear your music.
Memories came flooding in my mind,
Silhouettes of the past danced as I played our song.
The past.
I played the guitar and you sang for me,
Wordly lyrics and the notes all became alive,
Your voice gave life to my music
Your voice gave life to me.
You strung the harp,
I played the violin,
Music is our world,
And love is its lyrics;
Lyrics that told the tale of our love,
Story-teller of the saddest romance.
I used to play the flute.
While you played your piano,
I sang our song
You sang out your heart.
And when silence came after our music,
You smiled as sweet as honey at me
And all I did was to smile back
Never knowing that the perfect smile was your last.
I kissed you and said goodnight,
Without even knowing that kiss was our last.
That night while I was asleep I heard the moon
Telling me you love me as she was singing our song.
That same night you were praying to the moon
To kiss me goodnight and sing to me your love.
That night I dreamt of us together under the mysterious moon
Holding hands while walking along the silent shore.
That same night you were waiting for the angels to carry you,
Carry you away from the pain you were feeling.
That night my smile was like forever
That night you were leaving me forever.
Death stole you away from me,
Death stole away my life.
So with no one to run to I sang our song,
Listening to the melody that we both did and sang.
I touched the piano thinking I was caressing you.
I strung the harp and played the violin
Hoping my music could reach you.
I'll be sending you my love through my music
Hoping it'll be just like before.
I'll forever keep the notes we wrote and the tunes we both played.
I'll forever dwell in the shadow of our love and the past.
I'll forever sing the music of heart and reminisce the memory of our song.
Goodbye dear love.
