To remember you by is such a pain
My tears flow like the August rain
I twist and turn at night as I see your face
I dream of you and your lovely gaze

Oh Lovely one! how the time has flown and gone
A joy it was when you were running about
A day in which my world was spinning, until
Your heart was beating but then it was still

The bitterness of death is nothing compared
To the agony of loneliness that I have left in spare
For you are no longer with me this day
And at night I think of your passing away

You are the joy and love that was lost
To the cruelty of fate, as cold as frost
You were the joy that did not last
like a winter day that ends so fast

I remember the evening I saw you lay
I knew as soon as I saw you that way
You were unwell, your life was still here
But your heart was faint and your eyes unclear

You groaned with agony I knew not what to do
I picked you up and covered you through
I comforted you as best and sat by your side
But the Harbinger of Death was already waiting inside

Then you coughed and groaned for now it was cold
I saw your life flowing out of your throat
The life that was inside, had flown out of the door
The crimson red river had come out with a groan

I remember your sleep and you were still
Your heart beat was gone so was your feisty will
Now there you lay as cold as the night
For the shadow had won and there was no light

To remember you by is still a pain
My tears flow like the August rain
For you were my dear and you were so young
But fate decided to have you and share with none.
