Good-bye, my love, it's time we part,
I bid you fond farewell.
I've loved you true, with all my heart,
more than mere words can tell.
I love you still, and always will,
with all my mortal soul,
But know not when we'll meet again,
as time and tide unroll.
Though lost to me, I cherish you,
the dearest of the dear,
And offer up a prayer or two,
in hopes that God will hear:
That you know peace,
that you find love,
that your life be filled with laughter,
That angels stand watch over you,
tonight
and ever after.
