And I've sat in the sunshine in summers of sadness
And lived through the winter when lonely was here
And I've gone throught the motions of feeling for fear
That I never would find you my dear
And I'm thankful to whoever made it all possible
for me to be with you while I lived
And spare you the grief if I passed on
before you and I don't think I'd live if you died before me
And I hope that the smell of these roses
will follow you on in the time when the roses are gone
I love you Dawn
