I Didn't Say Goodbye

I Didn't Say Good Bye

 

Your heartbroken husband, Dominick

I didn't say goodbye,

To kiss your face and lips once more,

I can't explain, the reason why,

I failed the woman I adore,

 

We'd  greet each other eye to eye,

I'd touch your skin as smooth as cream,

Bright pastel blues can't be denied,

The loveliest eyes I've ever seen,

 

I've loved you from the very start,

You loved me true through every day,

Our love brought summer to my heart,

But now a cold wind blows my way,

 

Lonely days without you and sensing you beside me,

Reminding me of times we shared, we played,

But lonely nights without you draw tears from deep within,

Cool my burning eyes still the ache won't go away,

 

Time will pass yet I shall not be free,

Of memories and what you meant to me,

I placed His cross where you had laid your head,

And pray God bless you where we shared our bed,

 

I didn't say goodbye,

To kiss your lips, to feel your breath,

Perhaps I know the reason why,

I could not bear you facing death,

 

My life has changed our dreams forever gone,

The things we planned, the joy of years flown by,

I know my pain disturbs you and you want me to go on,

Lord help me through this pain, I Didn't Say Goodbye.

 

....Forgive me
