I lifted you up
As you raised
Our life higher
To a place much finer
than when We found
each other

Surely We had
Our struggles
Still the time was
Ours to hold
And We held it
Oh so well

We lived and
were so alive
Contentment then
Our blessing
and Our prize
Love then true
in a world
wholly Devine

Surely then it was
good for you
To have someone
who loved you so
To feel you were
the most precious
And your life dear
would always hold

You and me
We had it made
With a blessing
for Us between
All We touched
turned to goodness
Our life achieving
the best of all
Our dreams

We lost Our Blessing
somewhere there
And it was all Our fault
We lost the magic
beyond chemistry
that requires the
touch of God

Now We know
what it's like
a blessing
once to hold
Then to know
Our precious blessing
was then lost
and truly broke

Sadly now
You are an Angel fallen
Further than the
worst of all fears
To a place
I've never seen before
To a place that
I've never been

Still I will probably
love you forever Baby
or at least that's
the way it seems.

The Wild Horses in my heart
rampage in Remembrance
of what you once then were

There's running
wild horses
in my spirit
and my soul
Stampeding on
Running still

So I'll get a ranch
in California
Run Wild Horses
free upon the range
Tame them each
and all by Summer
Saddle-Broke
by December rain

So God please
Bless all the
Wild Horses
That We together
once did ride

Even still I bless
You Baby
All the days
of my life.

In the darkness
we see the stars

In Our worst of moments
the dawn of Hope is obscure

Yet even then to persevere
for God is near and never far
Waiting to be acknowledged
for the life given and
the life restored

Even in that
the darkest moment
When the tide
sweeps all away

The lowest ebb
is the turn of the tide
unto the break of
a brand new day

It's so much colder
and the night is darkest
in the final moments
just before dawn

As God stands on
there beside you
And you He has
once again saved.

"In all thy ways
acknowledge Him
and He shall
direct thy paths"

To know Her was to love Her
To love Her was to show Her
all that then We together
could become to be

Then to be a loving couple
in the subtle settled company
of life's contented sublimity

All reason to
that purpose of the flame
that would sustain us.

Dreaming on
that life would always be
as it once then was
In the wondrous beauty
of Love's light of life

Still to know Her
was to love Her
To love Her
was to show Her
what once back when
We together became to be.

I knew an Angel once
She was captured in the war

The music was my own
Her song she sang alone

I prayed to forever hold her hand
To forever be her loving man

Her home was far away
Just where I could not stay

God bless her as she sleeps
Please bless her as she awakes
Bless her as she walks
Keep trouble far away

Lord bless her when she cries
and whisper all the whys
Please hold her closely
in your arms
Please keep her safely
from all harm

As the time has past us by
Still it was joy to love her
for awhile

Dear God I beg you please
always bless the goodness
of the Angel who used to be.
