He died late last night,
I held him in my arms so tight
until the morning came.
I pleaded with time to freeze,
I didn't want him to leave,
Goodbye goodbye goodbye
Sweet husband of mine.
We had twenty-seven years,
Two children dear,
You held us together my love,
When the wars came to tear us asunder,
You never quit on our lives.
Our life it was so complex,
A thousand moments of joys and distress,
We walked in high desert valleys,
Wild mustangs grazed on our front yard,
Really a lifetime spent so charmed,
Goodbye goodbye goodbye
Dear husband of mine.
Sleep on my dear in this peace,
I know you have found relief,
The troubled genius,
The poet's dance,
You gave love where you could,
You always tried to be so good.
We had our ups and downs
ins and outs,
The tides may have rolled out,
But we always rolled back in.
Now all I have is this empty space,
A few clothes to carry out,
Details to figure out.
Memories will forever stay,
The light of day before my eyes.
goodbye goodbye goodbye
sweet husband of mine.
