Melody of life

There’s a place by the water where we used to meet

Where we exchanged dreams and your kisses were so sweet

Now it’s a valley where I rest when life’s roads feel too steep

And I miss you

I sit by the water and watch the ripples pass me by

Let the past entwine me and the memories amplify

Sometimes I almost hear your voice in the rivers gentle sigh

It’s true

I wonder what could have been if you were still with me

But fate had decided that we were not destined to be

A speeding car and a driver drunk led to calamity

And you were gone

That was so many years ago, yet here in this special place

I can almost touch you, see the sun upon your face

You touched my heart and soul, and your touch left a trace

You were the one

Now I’m much older but you are forever young

A love snatched from me just as it had begun

The melody of our life was never to be sung

That’s so wrong

But here in this place with the river running through

I still dream of the things that we were going to do

And the sounds of the birds makes me smile too

Their singing our song
