To Chris

Tonight the stars shine down so bright It seems they stole your burning light The moon rose high into the aky It stole your wings that let it fly

The wind did whistle in my hair It stole the words you told so fair The crickets dared your songs to sing They stole they love your voice did bring

The air touched cool upon my skin I stole your hand I felt again And all the beauty of the night It stole from you with little right

How dare the world go on to live It's taken all and failed to give And worst of all how dare I too Go on to live life without you

Oh God have mercy on my heart You split the whole and left me part I feel the world has stolen form me And left but vivid memories

How cruel and harsh a world I live To take it all and fail to give But love, if you can hear me now Please listen to this solemn vow

The soul of me has gone with you There's nothing left for me to do I lay forever now in sleep And if you watch you'll see me weep

As long as God gives life, this shall I do Repeat the words, "my love, oh I love you."
