The Last Love Song

The day's been cold and damp The night, devoid of stars The old man lit his lamp And strummed his old guitar He closed his eyes and dreamt Of the sun and the beach Her lying in the sand Far away from his reach The love they had was real She was beautiful and bright And when he dreams, he feels The glow from her love light He sang about the girl He once had left behind When faith won't heal the world And peace was hard to find They vowed at a sacred ledge A friendship that would last The test of time, and pledged Respect and mutual trust The love they had was rare Their hearts sincerely pure They were such a loving pair Through all they would endure One day her life was snapped And the pain would'nt cease Her heart and mind were trapped And couldn't be released The clouds began to thin And the stars lit the sky I heard the old man sing About their last goodbye Their love without a doubt Had kept the old man strong The lamp he lit burnt out He'd sung his last love song
