Eternal Bond
One day, when life is past, and I depart,
And I no longer linger at your side,
When time and space and fate hold us apart,
May I still in your heart of hearts reside,
But while I walk on earth I hope to stay,
Forever in your thoughts and your embrace,
And when from mortal life I walk away,
May I imagine sadness in your face,
What better testimony to our love ,
Could ever exist than sweet remembrance dear,
If I yet yearn for you when I'm above,
I'll not be lost because your love is near,
Your love, my love, redeems me utterly,
For here and now, and for eternity.
And I no longer linger at your side,
When time and space and fate hold us apart,
May I still in your heart of hearts reside,
But while I walk on earth I hope to stay,
Forever in your thoughts and your embrace,
And when from mortal life I walk away,
May I imagine sadness in your face,
What better testimony to our love ,
Could ever exist than sweet remembrance dear,
If I yet yearn for you when I'm above,
I'll not be lost because your love is near,
Your love, my love, redeems me utterly,
For here and now, and for eternity.
