Darling Wife

My girl, you know I love you,

You mean so much to me,

But you've got to understand,

I have to leave you be.

You cannot give your life to me,

You cannot cheat or lie,

For, though I'll always love you,

I'd rather that I die...

You cannot save my soul now,

I am too far to halt,

I am on the journey,

And it all came from my faults.

I was selfish to demand you,

To make you pledge your love,

But now Ive learned my lesson,

It's too late, I'm now above.

I'll always be here watching,

Watching as your belly swells,

To grow our little baby girl,

And my longings then will quel.

For I am happy to watch you,

Watch you live our lifes,

To watch my darling daughter,

And watch my darling wife.

You'll always mean so much to me,

But now I wont come back,

I heard that fatal gunshot,

I heard the loud clear crack.

You see it was my punishment,

For being so unwise,

I left you for another,

I made you hurt and cry.

But now I see you happy,

With another I see near,

I wont be sad or jealous,

I dont want you to fear.

When you look up at the sky,
Pick a big bright star,
Close your eyes and send your love,
And I never will be far.

And now you have our daughter,

And another man in your life,

And I know you'll never forget me,

For you were my darling wife...
