The cost of losing a child
Bears so heavily on ones heart,
It fills you full of pain and grief
And that will never part.

These feelings overwhelm you
And leave an emptiness inside,
A void that's with you constantly
And there's no where you can hide.

It starts deep down within you
And like a cancer it grows,
Until it does consume you
And there's no place left to go.

So you lock it deep within your heart
And hide behind a laugh,
And hope that no one else can see
What lies behind the facade.
Do you know how much I need you?
Do you know how much I care?
Every waking moment
You're in my thoughts I swear.

And when I am asleep at night
You dominate my dreams,
You've captured my heart in every way
Do you know just what that means?

These questions I can answer
In just one simple phrase,
With every fiber of my being
I love you in every way.

And when this earth crumbles to dust
And our spirits are set free,
My love will still hold true to you
For as long as time can be,
For every teardrop that I cry
Is a teardrop meant for you,
For every bit of sadness
Is a sadness shared by two.

For every thought that you're miles away
All I wish for every day ,
Is that soon I'll be with you.

For my life today means nothing
Without you to share it with,
And the loneliness inside me
Makes me wonder why I live.

just your memory will stay with me
From now forever more,
And the hopes and dreams will linger on
Even though you're here no more.
The softness in your eyes
Tells me you love me,
The gentle touch of your hand
Tells me you care.

The warm smile on your face
Tells me you're happy,
The beating of your heart
Is all I can hear.

The tremor in your voice
Tells me I'm needed,
The beauty in your soul
Fills my heart with joy.

That certain way you look
Makes me so happy,
Knowing every day
You love me more.

though she's not
here with me now
i'd like to add this
to my vow
además to all
the word's i've sworn
those old promises
now well worn
in sickness
and in health we said
from this day
til death's bed
for richer or poorer
for better or worse
now i'd like
to add this verse

in presence or absence
together or apart
you're on my mind
you own my heart

picturing you
here with me
my mind's eye
can clearly see

you're in front and behind
to my left and my right

(nope -- still gone)

just wish you were here
by my side tonight
You were once a stranger that became my friend;
I felt somet'n I couldn't comprehend
Your smile lit up my life like wildfire
I instantly felt my soul rise higher
I was drowning in feel'ns of love and care
That if you left me I wouldn't bear
You became my priceless treasure
And baby I love you beyond measure
For my special someone
