Susan

Oh Susan with eyes so bright, how I think of you on this cold dark night 

Lying here all alone  in this cold drafty home

 The love we had was going strong

I always wonder where it all went wrong

When you left me, it felt like hell only a darkness my heart could tell

It seems not that long ago your laughter would make my heart so glow

Now those days are gone and past why can’t the good times ever last

Your letter came with a shock after all these years your heart has finally been unlocked

 It said “Tony I have cancer could you come and see me it would really please me.”

 I had no choice I had to go for my love so long ago

 When I saw you lying there in your bed with little hair

It made me wish I could speak the right words to thee

 I still remember what you said on that final day to me

You said “Tony I’ve always loved you.”

 I got to say “I love you” before you drifted into eternal sleep

 Then I clasped your hand bowed my head and began to weep
