Keepsake
The Last Token
This last token, my true love gave
Before dying a soldier brave
A pearl necklace with pendant bright
I wear it always, day and night
It makes me feel that he is near
I'll ever cherish his love dear
He spent his life savings for me
And gave this love token freely
Today he is no more, I know
But his love is with me to show
His memories I hold so close
That only my pearl necklace knows
This last token my true love gave
And as I stand before his grave
I feel his presence close to me
He will always my true love be
