As he saw her lying in stillness
Her hand was holding a rose
The grief he felt within his heart
Haunts his every day as it grows

The flowers all around her casket
A memorial to the life she did live
Brings to him thoughts of her beauty
To all the wonderful love she did give

The quietness of these surroundings
Are broken only by a muffled sob
They had been such sweet lovers
Her death, his heart does now rob

Tomorrow will be lived in sadness
She took all of his love he knows
That night, when in all his sadness
His last teardrop fell on that rose
