I Know the Day Will Come
I Know the Day will ComeI know the day will come
When one of us will lose the other
Sadness will overcome
And drown the memories of love
At least for a little while
Until times remembered
Peek from under the shadows
And open up the remaining heart once more
That day in the future
Most dreaded of all days
When a spouse departs this earth
For parts unknown
We plan out our future lives
Hiding from the truth
That one will vanish first
And leave the other with no way to follow
So what do we do now?
Do we ignore the future?
Do we stubbornly soldier onward?
Do we dig in and fight against time itself?
Or do we look into each other’s eyes
Knowing the day will come
And say to the other each and every day
“I love you” from the heart?
