You Were Always on My Mind
I lay beside your softness in the night,
Felt warmth in your fingers and open eyes.
Then you trusted me, as I held you tight,
Our love, attested by unguarded sighs.
Such love and beauty were a precious gift,
But there's another story to be told.
With a cruel heart, I'd set you adrift,
And was not there for you to have and hold.
I knew that you deserved another man -
A man who could give you what you were worth.
Long ago you left to follow your plan,
So, you'll not know, I will soon leave this earth.
Up in heaven, I don't know what I'll find,
But on earth, you were always on my mind.
