Yesterday you were quietly setting me right My friend and my lover, my wife and my light You were comfort and ease You were laughter and tease You were memories of All the joy and the love Once a fire then a glow That continued to grow Til a part of you left And I lost you. Each morning I eagerly look in your eyes But the spark that I hope for is gone and it lies In some far-a-way place where I cannot go And it’s then that I know That I’ve lost you You were comfort and ease You were laughter and tease You were memories of All the joy and the love Once a fire then a glow That continued to grow Til a part of you left and I lost you.
