Darling

"Darling" (song #83)

"Oh, my darling" you sang

And though I'll never hear that (your?) voice again

It still soothes me

It still comforts me

And I know life is change

And Yet it feels so strange

Here without you

Here missing you

But (and?) I can't say for sure what's on the other side

Oh, my darling I can't hide

I cannot hide

And I can't say for sure what's beyond this life

Oh, my darling I can lie

I cannot lie

I miss you

There is no stronger tie

Between you and I

Years cannot replace

Years will not erase

But when the end was near

And you had so much fear

I held your hand

I don't understand

But (and?) I can't say for sure what's on the other side

Oh, my darling I can't hide

I cannot hide

And I can't say for sure what's beyond this life

Oh, my darling I can lie

I cannot lie

I miss you

I looked into your eyes

While you slipped away

I'll spend all my life

Remembering that day

You let it all go

While I've been holding on

I'm still so numb

How can you be gone?

There is no wound more raw

But I am still in awe

Of your kindness

What a fine mess

I'll try to come to grips

With the truth of this

But still I need you

Still I need you

But (and?) I can't say for sure what's on the other side

Oh, my darling I can't hide

I cannot hide

And I can't say for sure what's beyond this life

Oh, my darling I can lie

I cannot lie

I miss you
