For Debbie~

How deep is my sorrow,

How intense is my pain?

How bleak looks tomorrow,

         Will there be only rain?

My sorrow is deeper than any sea

          And the pain is hard to bear;

How can another tomorrow be

          Knowing you won’t be there?

I miss your smile each morning
     Your loving touch at night,
The birds don't sing as sweetly,
     The sunshine's not as bright.

To be with you again, my love
     Would be my greatest fate,
But my heart goes right on beating
     While my soul longs for its mate!
