Be Free My Love

Be free, my darling, fly away.
My selfish dreams for you to stay
here at my side were but in vain.
Set free your soul – release your pain.

Don’t fret, my love, or shed a tear,
for I won’t leave – I’ll be right here.
Your hand I’ll hold, I’ll hug you tight
until you breathe your last tonight.

That light you see beyond this place
is there for you, so turn and face
the beauty and the ecstasy.
Don’t ‘er look back, don’t cry for me.

For I will hold you in my heart.
In dreams we’ll never be apart.
The memories that fill my mind
will help me build the strength I’ll find.

Come dark of night, the end is nigh
when angels come from God on high.
So take those wings and chase a cloud.
Your heart so brave, I am so proud.

I’m broken now for I will miss
the blessing of your joyous kiss.
Though tears do fall, my fears dispel;
It’s not goodbye, it’s just farewell.

Lovely Maria, it flows like water in a mountain stream; easy to read and pleasant to hear.

THanks again Chris. I'm glad you liked this one. I didn't see the comment as I thought I got notified when there was new comments. I'm just seeing now that there are some that I didn't know about. This site puzzles me! Maria x
