From time to time, personal grief gets the better of me ; and, by way of distraction, I'll try to teach myself to play an old song on a new instrument. While hacking my way through "Danny Boy" , it occurred to me different words could be put to that fine old tune...
I Miss You Love
(Tune : Londonderry Air / Danny Boy) 1. I miss you , Love: Sometimes in early morning I stop and touch Your empty rocking chair – I know you’re gone But sometimes I forget,dear, And my heart aches Because you are not there. 2. Your shy sweet smile Still calls me to your side, Love As it once did So many years ago – And in my dreams It sparkles like an ember To warm me with Its golden afterglow. 3. I thank you, Lord For all the years You gave us ; She’s in Your hands : I know it had to be – Ease Thou my pain And help me be deserving - Until rejoined We share eternity. Chorus So many years We walked through life together: The smiles, the tears, The sunshine and the rain- Had I but known Someday you’d have to leave me I tell you, Love : I’d do it all again !
