My Dear Is Gone |
|
|
|
|
|
 |
|
|
| My dear, you've gone and left me, |
|
| I have nothing left for which to live. |
|
|
| I am not at all how I have wanted to be, |
|
|
| I will never again have such love to give. |
|
|
| Now, I feel so alone since you left my life, |
|
|
| I have prayed hard, I've prayed my best, |
|
|
|
|
| But years of prayer returned only strife, |
|
|
| And now I only ask for God to give me rest. |
|
|
|
|
| Alone and forsaken, waiting for the grave, |
|
|
| I was given a gift and my hope did renew, |
|
|
|
|
| But now I've lost this greatest gift God ever gave |
|
|
|
| And that greatest gift from Heaven was you. |
|
|
|
|
| If God would help me to come home to him now, |
|
|
| That alone could ease the pain in my heart. |
|
|
| Because damp are my cheeks are dark is my brow, |
|
|
| I have no wish now but to leave life and depart. |
|
|
|
|
| One brother and two sisters are already gone. |
|
|
| No family is close and friends are so far away. |
|
|
| I have nothing but the words of an old, sad song, |
|
|
| To dull my pain to make it through the day. |
|
|
|
|
|
| Oh, Lord, I had such a beautiful dream last night, |
|
|
| I saw my beloved dear standing by my side. |
|
|
|
|
| The most angelic vision to ever grace my sight, |
|
|
|
|
| She loved me as I did her and she became my bride. |
|
|
|
|
| But, silent Lord, I'll not bother you anymore, |
|
|
|
|
| I'll be up soon enough, before You to stand. |
|
|
| Since I know there is no day in time evermore, |
|
|
| When I could place a ring on my beloved's hand. |
|
|
|
|
| I talked to God year after lonely, aching year, |
|
| I talked to Him constantly away into the night. |
|
|
| Yet God didn't answer, and my prayers would not hear, |
|
| Then I knew I must got to Him to put everything right. |
