Ever since that dreadful morn
When you went far away,
I haven’t had a full night’s sleep
Or a single happy day.
You took with you the only love
That I have ever shown,
For you are very truly
The only love I’ve known.
Each night I’ve cried alone for you
And wished that you were here,
And even though you’re far away
I’ll always hold you near.
April 4, 1977
