Our song

 They played our tune
And it brought a tear
My mind went back
To yesteryear
Saturday night at the old dance hall
Jiving and the quick step
Having a ball
When we fell in love
And said I do
We meant for life
We were eternally true
There was a mutual respect
We didn't need to lie
We meant our vows
When we said forever till we die
We made a home together
We had our roles to play
Everything was easier Back in our yesterdays
We had a daughter
And then a son
You went to work
And to a home cooked meal you'd come
I was able to help out
When our family grew
I worked part time
And I kept house too
When the weekend came
We had our routine
You'd take the kids out
While I got on and cleaned
You were my one and only
And you were a brilliant dad
We had our ups and downs
Like everyone had
But our love endured
And the years went by
Then you got ill
When they took you I cried
But every day
I loyally visited you
I sat and watched dementia
Take the man that I knew
Year in year out
Until one day at last
Your torment was over
And to God you passed
My lover my husband
Your arms I missed
My best friend forever
The only man I'd ever kissed
The years that followed
We're lonely and slow
Why did you leave me
Why did you have to go
But my love remained strong
You were always on my mind
Then I also started to struggle
Things became confusing I'd find
Now I also sit In a nursing home
Oh our family visit
But I'm still alone
I close my eyes
And my memories I replay
I'm in your arms once more
And it's yesterday
The musics playing
Then I hear our song
Its then I remember I'm alone
It's then I remember you're  gone
Each tears a memory
A memory of you
A life time together
And a love that will always forever be true
