Sometimes, alone, I see her face,

I hear her on the stair;

I hold my arms out to embrace my Sue

And she is there.

 

The loving laughing eyes I knew

Look back into my own,

And all the warmth and giving too

Are all that I have known.

 

I hold her tight within my mind

And stroke her gentle face,

But all too soon she's gone I find,

And I hold empty space.

 

But I know that Sue waits for me,

She's merely gone ahead;

A guardian in eternity,

She waits beside my bed.

 

When my time comes, I'll see her face,

I'll hear her on the stair;

I'll hold my arms out to embrace my Sue

And she'll be there.
