My heart screams within me
DON'T go!!
But there is nothing I can do
I can't heal you
I can't set your spirit free
And I can't keep you here with me I'm searching now for peace
I'm searching now for hope
What will I do without you?
Will I find a reason to go on? My best friend
From beginning to end
Together we've been
Through thick and thin A man of integrity
A man of his word
There's no one else like you
In all of humanity I will miss the smile upon your face
And the warmth of your strong embrace
Nobody could ever take your place I love you my lover
My husband
My friend
But I must release you
