I close my eyes & see your face
As you dance to the music of the band
You look so happy, so full of life-
This magic moment in time
Shall be etched on my mind
Unfaded by life, untarnished by light
I close my eyes & see your face
As you gaze down now into my eyes
Still happy, still full of life –
Yet different now – content somehow
Eyes of love, eyes of caring
Pierce through my fear, embrace my my heart
I close my eyes and see your face
Bathed in the moonlight – at peace.
Quiet now, life’s ebb winds down
Tender hands now still
Vulnerable, trusting, heart exposed
A simple, honest man.
