Lilacs in May
by Linda Derkez
Time
has passed since I wrote this song.
The
sun has set, and we didn’t
have very long.
Days
slipped away, and all that we can hold are the words we say.
I’ll say them to
you still.
And
I say that I love you.
And
I know that you love me, too.
My
world was filled with the love of my mother.
We
held each other close, but she faded in the night.
I’ll carry her
light, and all the love we’ve
shared surely turns to gold.
It’s all we have
left to hold.
And
I wish you could have stayed another day
to
smell the lilacs in May.
And
I wish I could hold off all these tears
until
many years from now.
I
wish we could have taken away your pain
as
we watched you fade away.
I
tried to say
all
I wanted to say
as
the pages of our lives turn to the end.
Don’t want a day to
begin without you.
We’ll be lost and
lonely, too.
We
love you, we love you.
Goodbye,
goodbye.
We
love you, we love you.
Goodbye, goodbye.
