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
