-
I sit alone
I watch the sun
It seems to smile on everyone
How warm the sand beneath my feet
The waves they lap as if to greet
Such beauty all around I see
So amazing that it's all for free
The sun it seems to warm my heart
Not easy will it be to part
So alone I feel without you here
My love for you is always near
Taken away before your time
My heart seems lost as it does pine
I see you as I walk these sands
As I remember so fondly your warming hands
What I'd give to see you once again
My heart would shine and start to sing
How comforting for me to dream of you
But my heart seems to have a different view
It knows you won't come back to me
It takes a while for me to see
My love is strong and will always be
Such precious times for you and me
As I watch the sun sink oh so low
The time wasn't right for you to go
I live to face another day
Knowing how you'd want it that way
Time can't change - can't bring you back
My memory is strong and right on track
Thoughts of you will come and go
In my heart you'll be safe with me I know
The gulls take flight
The moon is full
I turn and walk up to the hill
I stand and let the moon reflect
On times we had - I'll never forget
Sleep peacefully and think of me
You're part of the moon, the sun and the sea
