I stand alone on the sandy beach
my tears flowing into the sea
because I know you’re out of reach
and no longer here with me
You looked so handsome laying there
In eternal sleep forever
The pain I hide is too much to bare
I want us to be together
But I am needed on this lonely land
for a little longer at least
to help and guide the people I love
giving them reassurance and peace
so I’ll be on the shoreline here
to cry more tears over you
On your birthday every year
to celebrate our love so true
Until it’s time to meet once more
to hold and love one another
as we did all those years ago
when I was your friend and lover.
