I wipe the tears from your eyes
As your soul cries
I hold your hand as you tremble with memories
From best forgotten times
I sit by your side
As the professionals say time is passing you by
I close your eyes gently
When the time to come has died
I kiss your forehead
As you departed
My only consolation
When my tears arrive
My heart sprung a leak
That will never again be sealed
Is the feeling of you
By my side
Wiping the tears from my eyes
