and I was crying too..
And yes, I heard them coming
to pull me away from you.
They said "We'll have to take him now..
You see.. It's afternoon"...
I answered.."Damn that clock! - not yet"..
It's still a bit too soon!
I still have things to say to him,
and he has things for me
There's still a moment to be shared
"to know - "to feel - 'to be
"Give me just ten minutes
just to stay here in his bed
His spirit still holds on to mine
although his body's dead"
I see him looking up at me
although I closed his eyes
"Go and leave us for a while
to finish our goodbyes"
And when they did, I held him close
saying "Sweetheart, have no fear...
It's God who's reaching out to you,
till then I'll stay right here"
I promised I'd never leave you alone
that I'd always care for you
I hear the angels coming
but I'll hold you till they do
I kissed your face, I kissed your eyes
I kissed your fingertips
I hugged your lifeless body
and then I kissed your lips
One last goodbye - One burning tear
to seal you in my heart
One silent scream - One ended dream
Before the"rituals" start
And in your ear I said a prayer
and touched you with a cross
No one will ever know this day
my boundless sense of loss
I feel the angels presence now
it's time for us to part
Ashes to ashes - Dust to dust
it's referring to my heart
It's September now, and it's still hot
and I still cry some too
One month ago today
and I still think of you
