The 23rd of March
Thirty two years ago
I was married on this day
It should have been forever
Things shouldn’t be this way
That love I had is dead now
I feel so much alone
There is no-one here to comfort me
No heart, so soul, just stone
I always thought we’d be together
I never thought we’d end
There’s so much love I had for you
My heart may never mend
My life has much more quality
More than I’ve ever known
But still this heart inside of me
Yearns for a love unknown
The lonely days and lonely nights
Don’t make up for lost time
But still I have this trouble
Of trusting one for mine
I listen to the lives of some
There’ve had just so much fun
And I realize with a start in me
That mine was never done
There’s very few times to talk about
Of love and fun we shared
It always seems when I look back
We worked and never cared
We never dined, never went out
There was never a rose just given
There was never a time that I recall
A present just for living
It’s the 23rd and here I sit
Alone with memories
Of dreams I had so long ago
When I did marry thee.
My world back then was full of love
Full of happy thoughts
I felt back then that life would be
So full of love and sorts
For thirty years we were as one
Many a year too long
It’s over now, and I can say
I sing some lonely songs
I wish you well in all you do
And wish you harmony
I hope one day that you will find
A happiness that’s free.
