Tears for My Love
 

I thought that you had gone and abandoned me, had left me cold and dry.
For a few days my world was desolate and thoughts of you made me want to cry.
Then a message you sent brought back meaning to my life.
It was too little to say how remote I felt without you to make me whole.
My tears are subsiding and the sun is now shining and proclaiming to the world all my joy.
As I sit by myself in this hate filled world at least I have
you to count on.
We were made for each other to sift the good from the bad.
You and I are like one as we make each other glad for the gift of love that we share.
No more tears,
no more pain,
no more love lost in vain.
I have found you, I will need you, my love...
