Dear God

I don't think time will heal this broken heart
for soon my love and I will part...
I have been battered and torn
since our love was born

How I tried, I really tried
but for him, our love has died...
First came sunshine and then came rain
no rainbow, no laughter, only pain...

Standing by his side sharing, caring every day
waiting for a glimmer of light to show me the way...
When he was sick, I held his head
tended to him in our antique bed...

He had everything his way
I wanted him to be happy every day...
But all the time he wanted another
a world apart and maybe further...

The day was dreary and dark so I wasn't surprised
with the ringing of the bell just to keep me apprised...
The things I heard were cruel and hard
I wasn't prepared, nor on guard...

Since that day I always cry
for one day soon we'll say goodbye...
But before he goes, I want him to know
I prayed his love for me would grow...

To me he was more precious than silver and gold
how I wanted his love, to have and hold...
So just for him this song I sing
may he find true love to bond with a golden ring...

Dear God! Before I leave
I want a love for which I grieve.
