By Moonlight

I did not get to grow old with you
ending on a winters day
You promised me a long time ago
you would always stay

I'm reminded as I watch the stars tonight
They're shrouded in the moonlight
The brightest one peeps through the
clouds
I remember us that night

You are gone and I am here
our love forever dear
Waves lap against the sandy shore
Your voice I'll never hear
