I sit here gazing at your sleeping face
Innocent as a child
Serene as an angel
No strain mars that perfect sight
The love that I feel for you grows
With each breath that I take
No wonder on Earth can match
The sight of my Beautiful Dreamer
Over most doors
That lead to the outside
Sit a red lit sign
EXIT be it's print
I've often seen it
And now I'm thinking here
To hell with the damn thing
I'll use the window instead
Staring at the river
Quietly whispering to the wind
Civilization is a distant dream
The blue sky free of clouds
Filled with but a lonely eagle
Circling above the trees
I could live here forever
I've finally found my home
Through the many years
So many friends I've lost
But each is still within me in my heart
But of all the friends I've buried
I miss you the most
I never told you I loved you
But I meant it every day
The day you died
I lost something deep inside
Every day I think about you
And as I think about my creaking bones
I know I will soon join you
Then I can finally tell you
How much I really love you
