“Standing in my shadow”
“Standing in my shadow”
I’ll never forget the joy that she put into my life
Her kind words-her gentle touch, “All” that felt nice
Though we had our differences only we knew our love
The way we cried, the way we fought-we always rose above.
Yet our time has been cut short, I still long for her here.
I know she's “standing in my shadow”; I know she’s still near.
Maybe it’s in my heart…. Where she’ll always dwell.
There her room is cozy; there I hide her well.
Only time will tell the next time I’ll see her face
I’ll take my time, I’ll keep her smile, and I’ll run my own race.
I know I’ll see her again and our hearts will then interlace;
She’s always “standing in my shadow” and there I see her face.
