Lyrics

PHOTOGRAPHS:

There's a photograph of you & me
I left upon the shelf
I glance at on occasion,
feeling sorry for myself,
and I come close to believing,
in the absence of all else,
perhaps it's all over now.

Each dawn you would be dancing
with your long hair wild and free,
you were graceful as Pavlova,
I would watch you endlessly;
when I wake up now there's silence
where once music used to be,
perhaps it's all over now.

There hasn't been much laughter
in the house since you've been gone,
it's not that i'm unhappy,
it's just hard to laugh alone,
You said my sense of humour
was the best you'd ever known
- I don't feel so funny now.

The white sheets were your sails
and the bed your travelling boat
- each day a new adventure
in the tales we read and wrote,
and then your eyesight failed
and the words caught in your throat,
and it's all over now.

I sat and watched you fading,
my heart breaking with your pain,
but your spirit never faltered
and your courage never waned,
God knows how much I miss you
but the memories remain
- perhaps it's not over now.
