I remember that day, When you looked over and the tears at the edge of your eye made me love you all the more. As we danced I could feel your hands shaking and the sound of my beating heart gave me strength to carry you across the floor. And you were mine for as long as I could hold you, taking care to let all else go cause nothing would be the same. But then you left and my hands were left dry and empty as if the point of me loving so hard had always been a game.

This life marched on, as if it left me at the platform the carousel spun but the colors and fun were somehow gone forever. So I walked bye holding on to those moments when the music of love meant we would always be together. And you were mine as long as I held on to the memories of our great love gone wrong. But then I wake and my eyes closed and my fist clutching the pieces of my heart as I whistle our favorite song.

Take Her Lord will you keep her for me wrapped in your loving Grace. The days are long but that song calls to me Knowing this is just a race. Praise you Father for letting me love her and know that we’ll meet again. My Loving God away from both of you is something more than just a pain. It is a call to run as fast as my legs will push me to get across that finish line.

They came and they went, missing their Mommy forgiving me for never being the answer to the pain biting deep down inside. I never would have decided any different as great kids were a constant reminder of my Loving Bride. But the blue in my heart would have pushed me to treasure every breath every moment with you I’d spent. There’s nothing more precious than the Love God has for me and looking in those dark brown eyes I really knew what that love meant.

It came to me, all of the sudden and just as quickly I was standing quite lonely wondering where the time had gone. To be so happy and then live empty made it seem that all my heart and hope fell away at the dawn. But I had seen the light of Jesus in the face of the woman that I had the grace to meet, marry and love. Standing here strong cause I know before Long I’m gonna see that light before me standing next to the Good Lord Above.

Take Her Lord will you keep her for me wrapped in your loving Grace. The days are long but that song calls to me Knowing this is just a race. Praise you Father for letting me love her and know that we’ll meet again. My Loving God away from both of you is something more than just a pain. I stay here walking this path that you gave me looking for that finish line.
