The last time I saw youYou told me that you loved me
That was the best day but also the worst day of my lifeBecause as I watched you leave on the trainI didn't know that would be the last time I ever saw you
Everything is silent other than my mindMemories of us race through my headThe argumentsThe morningsThe kissesThe paintThe everythingAnd I try to think of ways I could be happy with out you but it's been so many months and the only thing that comes to mind is youAnd I ran to the ocean
You loved the oceanThe way it movedThe way it smelledThe way it sangI lay on the cool sand now in the dark listening to it singThe waves are the melody, the birds are the chorus, and the wind is the harmonyRemember on sad nights you sang us to sleep
We had a houseIt was a very small but the perfect size for usThe home held special momentsMornings on the deck with the sun,nights in the bed with paint on the sheetsEven a beat up love seat that held the comfort of peanut butter and day dreamsThat little bungalo held some of our best moments
I could snatch a day out of the late autumnAnd set it trembling like forgotten springs,There would be sharp blue skies with new leaves shiningAnd flying shadows cast by flying wings.I could take the heavy wheel of the world and break it,But we sit brooding while the ashes fall,Cowering over an old fire that dwindles,Waiting for nothing at all.
I never lost as much but twice,And that was in the sod.Twice have I stood a beggarBefore the door of God!Angels -- twice descendingReimbursed my store --Burglar! Banker -- Father!I am poor once more!
Why -- do they shut Me out of Heaven?Did I sing -- too loud?But -- I can say a little "Minor"Timid as a Bird!Wouldn't the Angels try me --Just -- once -- more --Just -- see -- if I troubled them --But don't -- shut the door!Oh, if I -- were the GentlemanIn the "White Robe" --And they -- were the little Hand -- that knocked --Could -- I -- forbid?
