Soar Up High My Darling

I stand here waiting for a bus that goes to Beachy Head my life is over; I have no life my heart so full of salty tears for yesterday love went away how could he after all those years We met when I was sweet 16 and he was 3 years more a precious day I treasure still as love came knocking on my door Together we journeyed through the years with so much laughter and some tears our lives together had ups and downs we were lovers, pals and pioneers exploring the nooks and crannies of life our love grew even stronger the years together so precious now we thought we had forever My love why did you have to leave on such a sunny day my darling dear I loved you so why did you go away but cancer is the cruellest beast it eats you bit by bit and once the monster takes a hold so rarely can you stop it Such pain endured though never a cry now you are pain free and flying high and my reason for going to Beachy Head not to jump like troubled souls before but to catch a glimpse of your precious soul as it flys up high and begins to soar...
