I hear an echo within my heart
throughout my thoughts, resounding
each corner turned I can not find
lost in a way, confounding
The pain, the ache, deep misery
my heart, it still doth yearns
to hold her in my arms again
to feel her touch in turn
My memories play all through the night
sweet essence, everlast
aroma rich, sweet hair's perfume
my love for her - been cast
I cannot break these chains that bind
heart, sweat, and tears each link
I'll hold our love, our live's entwined
forever beyond the brink
Who am I to question love
though her life hath fade away
return to pray, I'm on my knees
lay flowers upon her grave
I hold my breath and live my life
though years have passed the nigh
undying love I oath to her
with tears yet in my eyes
*For those who have lost a loved one
