Here Still
My dearest you left to that p lace
where we’ll surely meet a gain.
But you are with me here.
The memories ease the pain
that creeps upon me as I hear
things which would have made you s mile.
Tears may run down my face
more in joy than sorrow to know

bought by someone to put on dis play
As I lay here I’ve not much to say
I only tell the right time twice every day.
I Did Not Know

that we’d start a dance of life.
I did not know when first we met
that dance would be quite fra ntic.
I did not know when first we met

I did not know when first we met
the journeys together we’d make.
I did not know when first we met
the years we’d live toge ther.
I did not know when first we met
in silence our thoughts we’d know.
I did not know when first we met
you would be the first t o go.
I did not
