If Only

entry picture

If only you were still here
I weep alone and shed a tear
If only I wasn't so very sad
I miss you badder than bad
If only

The world moves swiftly on
And I am left in limbo land
Why the hand of fate has taken you
I will never ever understand
Step by step I try soldier on
But I am sinking in quicksand
One day a time I duly take
In this God forsaken land 

If only life was fair
We didn't have a care
If only I could turn back time
You would be forever mine
If only

On my mind you will always be
When I awaken and lay my head
Life is a mystery the people say 
Here today gone tomorrow enough said
Your days are numbered
Right from the very start
The time we had was precious 
You didn't have to break my heart

If only I could live a dream 
How things might have been
If only you would return
My heart for you It yearns 
If only

Very heartfelt Tom. Made me think of Kris Kristofferson.

I am, taking time this Advent though:

To remember the ones who have already crossed Death.
