What in the World

What in the world would I do without you
By my side, right where you belong?
What would I do if I reached for your love;
And all that I reached for was gone
I’d try to be strong and keep moving along
But I think I would just want to hide
I’d wave and I’d smile and I’d stay for a while
But there would be nothing inside

All I could ask is to have you to hold
In my arms in my dreams in my life
All I could want is to know that you want
To stay here, be my woman my wife
I’ll love you through time and I’ll know that you’re mine,
And you’ll always be first in my heart
You’ll know that I love you and put no one above you,
And nothing could tear us apart.

This is the way that I feel and I know
That true love will not fade away
I’ll keep you beside me and hold you inside me
And we’ll take it day by day

What in the world would I do without you
By my side, right where you belong?
What would I do if I reached for your love;
And all that I reached for was gone
I’d try to be strong and keep moving along
But I think I would just want to hide
I’d wave and I’d smile and I’d stay for a while
But there would be nothing inside

What in the world, what in the world
What in the world would I do?
What in the world, what in the world
What in the world would I do?

About this poem:
My favorite of the songs I've written. This was written expressly for my late wife when she was still alive. Didn't intend for it to be prophetic.

Thank you. It's been some years now, I have learned to live with the loss and move on.

Lovely thoughts and full of dedication....wish life didn't put us to the test....we have to be flexible and move on, leaving a part of ourselves where we had been.
