Who will wipe away my many tears,
As for my dear love one I now weep
Who will be there to help me rest easy
While at night I try to fall fast asleep
Who will embrace me ever so tightly
Or who can ever take your place,
Who will say my name like you did
Placing a soft smile upon my face
Where are you now my sweet flower
When I need you most in my life
Where is the sound of your laughter
That always made each day so right
For my eyes grow tired from weeping
And my knees are weak from prayer
And I cannot let go of what I lost
When you were taken away from here
For every time the door bell rings
Or the telephone announces a call
I jump in expectation with a hope
That from my life you did not fall
And yet still my mind grows weary
As I once again try to fall asleep
And I can’t let go of your memory
When your image my heart still keeps
….until we meet again

For my eyes grow tired from weeping
And my knees are weak from prayer
And I cannot let go of what I lost
When you were taken away from here
For every time the door bell rings
Or the telephone announces a call

That from my life you did not fall
And yet still my mind grows weary
As I once again try to fall asleep
And I can’t let go of your memory
When your image my heart still keeps
