| One Sweet Day �A story about a time, a story about a place, a story about the people. But above all things, a story about love. A love that will live forever. The end� I�m finished. I pull the sheet of paper from my typewriter. I hold it against my heart, or what is left of it. She was my heart. But this story, it�s all I have left of her. This story is what I�ll remember her by. Not that I could ever forget. Now our story is complete. The story that the woman who changed my life told me to write as she died in my arms. It was the most painful thing I ever had to do. But I made myself do it. It�s what she sent me to do. Sometimes I wonder if I should even try to go on living. Everyday is more painful then the last. But I keep going. I keep going for her. She wanted me to keep living even though her life was so unfairly taken away. I will never love like that again. When I was with her, my problems didn�t matter, they faded away into the happiness she gave me. Sometimes I look up at the sky and wonder if she can see me. I know I can see her. She is the wind against the trees, the sun that lights each day, she is everything. My everything. When I feel as though I can�t move, I can�t think, I imagine that day. That day that I will be put out of my misery and see my love again. I will hold her in my arms and all the pain I�ve felt will disappear. But until then I will share our story. Our story about a love that will never die. A love so strong it had a whirling force of it�s own. Doing that will have to keep me satisfied. Satisfied until that day, that one, sweet, day� Sorry that I never told you All I wanted to say Now it�s too late to hold you �Cause you�ve flown away So far away Never had I imagined Living without your smile Feeling and knowing you hear me It keeps me alive Alive And I know you�re shining down on me from heaven Like so many friends we�ve lost along the way And I know eventually we�ll be together One sweet day Darling I never showed you Assumed you�d always be there Took your presence for granted But I always cared And I miss the love we shared And I know you�re shining down on me from heaven Like so many friends we�ve lost along the way And I know eventually we�ll be together One sweet day Although the sun will shine the same I�ll always look to a brighter day Lord I know when I lay me down to sleep You will always listen as I pray And I know you�re shining down on me from heaven Like so many friends we�ve lost along the way And I know eventually we�ll be together One sweet day Sorry I never told you All that I wanted to say *"One Sweet Day" is performed by Mariah Carey and Boyz II Men* |
