Realizing my innermost fears
Choking back the steady stream of tears
Not knowing your time had come
Without you I feel so numb

Just a whisper in the breeze
Brought my world down to its knees
The day that you were called away
Paradise is where you now stay

When the days do come to pass
I'll call upon your bed of grass
Comfort inside knowing you're there
Looking up at my vacant stare

The silence I exchange with thee
Speaks volumes, I'm sure this you'll see
My shadow it casts across your grave
While I stand so lonely, I stand so brave

Now the days they seem so long
In my arms is where you belong
I close my eyes and hear you speak
You call my name, my legs grow weak

Together we promised that we would grow old
We thought our happiness would never unfold
I'll kneel at your feet with my head hung low
Thoughts in my mind, which you already know

This quality time with you I spend
Will hopefully help my broken heart mend
Feeling guilty when I turn to leave
Returning home, I continue to grieve

When my term approaches death
Time to exhale one final breath
I wonder if others will fall to their knees
When my name whispers in the breeze
