Those We Love Do Not Depart
Those we love are here to stay
Within our hearts, both night and day
From the break of dawn till the darkened night,
We feel their glow like a candlelight
We feel their glow while we mourn
From the dark of night till the break of dawn
Within our thoughts each night and day
Those we love do not go away
From the break of dawn till the darkened night
We keep our memories ever tight
Of the beautifully blissful times we shared
With those we love who deeply cared
We sense their presence though out of sight
From the break of dawn until the dark of night
Within our hearts forever loved ones stay
They simply do not go away
From the dark of night until dawn’s break
Whether fast asleep or wide awake
Those we love do not disappear
In fact they always remain right very here
Whether fast asleep or wide awake gym
Those we love never take a break
From loving us each day and night
In spite of being out of sight
We feel their glow like a candle’s light
From the break of dawn to the darkened night
Both day and night, within our hearts
Those we love do not depart

I am I and you are you, whatever we were to each other that we still are.
Speak to me in the easy way which you always used.
Why should I be out of mind because I am out of sight?
Life means all that it ever meant, it is the same as it ever was.
