As I Bid My Soul Mate Good-Bye
I won't be here tomorrow,love,and so I write
The sweetest whisperings of my soul to you tonight
I need to let you know just what you mean to me
When I was blinded by life's sorrows you helped me see
My deaf ears heard no music so you sang your songs
Everything you did was right and erased all wrongs
In blackest night opened my window and showed me stars
Introduced me to the meaning of Venus and Mars
In my loneliness wrapped your arms around me tight
If ever I was scared you chased away my fright
When I was thirsty,let me drink from your loving cup
And when I needed my soul fed you filled me up
My sweet darling ,you're the finest man around
Telling me all I need to know without a sound
So now my time draws near and how I hate to go
Leaving you here without me but it must be so
I'll be near you always,you can count on that
I am that little breeze that blows away your hat
If you hear lovers laughing,that will be me too
An angel in the mist,I will watch over you
So as I write these words I say good-bye my love
One day you'll be beside me in that glory above
