As darkness holds us in its arms
And peace fills the room.
I listen and look
As you sleep beside me
Peacefully.
I hold you close, your head against my chest
And I ask…Why me?
Why did you choose me?
With your beauty and charm
The world was yours and yet
You chose me.
Thank you God
For giving me the best
My friend, my love, my wife
My Boo…
Why me?
I’ll never understand,
But my heart will rejoice for ever!
