Darkness is wrapping itself around me today
It is getting stormy
The rain trickles down my window
The air is getting damp
My bones start creaking with the weather
My muscles start to cramp
But I look on, out that window
To see what weather does
I see grass waving at me in the wind
The atmosphere has a buzz
I feel so sleepy watching this
I dream of better days
But whilst I sit here watching it all
The fire is ablaze
I am wrapped up nice and warm
Watching this rainy weather
Then I sigh and think of you
And how we were together
A smile forms upon my face of memories almost forgotten
How soft your skin was in those days, almost like pure cotton
I fall asleep in my chair, with the memories I hold of you
And I dream of times that were from past, before your sudden adieu
You will live on in my heart; there you’ll always have a place
I remember fondly your sweet and smiling face
I will join you shortly dear
My life has been long but good
And together we’ll be in heaven
Just like lovers should
