I’ve lost him in the clouds
gone from my view,
And however deep I seek
I can’t pursue,
This man who was my love
someone so true,
So very much my refuge
my rendezvous.
Such emptiness descends,
my world is blue!
If I could fly up high
would he be there,
Looking down with eyes
that show his care,
Remembering the times
we used to share,
There isn’t anyone
who can compare.
Such emptiness descends
He’s gone elsewhere.
But I will hold him here
within my soul,
And cherish all we had
so I feel whole,
He’ll always be with me
and will console
This hurting heart of mine
which all condole.
Such emptiness descends
What is my role!
I ’m out there on my own
I must last through,
For without his hand to guide
I’ve no value.
To finding my way alone
I have no clue,
Where I will go from here,
what will ensue,
Such emptiness descends.
on my debut!
