Sleep Gently My Love
The day has ended and the dusk falls all around
In a secluded place beyond the trees my love sleeps in the ground
There was a time he was alive and here with me
A time we vowed together we would always be
After all these years have past my heart still weeps
Weeps for the man who was my love and my friend
Weeps for the love that will and cannot end
Memories that now only live in my mind
Lost forever in the world of present time
Quietly I sit as the moon sends a soft glow from above
Softly I whisper I am here with you sleep gently my love
