The love of my life
have I lost to the dark
her epitaph I could still recite
and her dirges written I could still sing
these were the few things I could remember

The love of my life
have I lost to the shadows
her eyes I could still see
and her skin I could still feel
these were the few things I could remember

The love of my life
have I lost to death
her smiles I could still remember
and her kisses I could still taste
these were the few things I could still remember.
