Forever Has Your Name

We were young
when love began.
You took my heart.
You took my hand.
One love,
one life,
just me and you.
And every day,
my love was true.
You were my first,
my only one.
My morning light,
my setting sun.
We raised our children
side by side.
You were my love,
my joy, and my pride.
Your love is all I know.
Even now, I can't let go.
You were my heart, my reason why.
Now I just ask the Lord why.
I still reach out in the night.
But you're not here to hold me tight.
My whole life belonged to you.
Your love is all I ever knew.
We grew old,
but love stayed young.
A thousand songs
our hearts had sung.
Then came the day
you said goodbye.
And something in me
seemed to die.
Your love is all I know.
Even now, I can't let go.
You were my heart, my reason why.
Now I just ask the Lord why. I still reach out in the night.
But you're not here to hold me tight.
My whole life belonged to you.
Your love is all I ever knew.
Your chair is empty
by my side.
I fight these tears
I cannot hide.
I wake each day
and call your name.
But nothing
ever feels the same.
Our children need
their daddy strong.
So I keep moving,
carrying on.
For them I'll stand,
for them I'll try.
Though half my soul went with you that night.
I'll see our children
grow with pride.
And keep your love
alive inside.
Until the day
my life is through,
I'll save my final prayer for you.
Kiss for you.
One heart, one love, one love, one love, one life till my time through.
My only love
will always be you.
One heart, one love, one love, one love.
Till my last breath,
I'll love you
beyond life and death. Your picture rests beside my bed.
I kiss your face
and bow my head. I miss you more than words can show.
Your love is all I'll ever know.
