Even In Death

Hello, how you've been? My, it's been a long time.
Here, I've lit the candle. Please have a glass of wine.
 
Thought that I would never again see your lovely face.
Must admit it's been a dual life ever since you went away.
 
That smile that you have...how I love that pretty smile!
So glad when you called, said you'll stay here for a while.
 
I realize when we were young you just had to move away.
Told your parents that you loved me, but they wouldn't  
let you stay.
 
I can see it in your eyes that you're still in love with me.
Heaven above sent down an angel when you came over to me.
 
Now you show our promise ring. My heart skips a beat.
You've never once taken it off...and all this time I do see!
 
I grabbed your hand and told you that I'm still in love with you.
I want you back...need you back, together we can see this through.
 
All you did was shake your head, so I asked you what was wrong.
"Why can't we be together? What is it that's going on?"
 
Looking up to me, you tell me that you died a year ago.
"It's not me at all," you said "what you see here is my ghost."
 
Didn't want to believe it all; I can't believe that you died!
"Babe, stop this foolish talk; c'mon, give love just one more try."
 
It was then you gave me a paper that dated about a year ago.
"Woman, killed by a druken driver" next to your picture...now I know!
 
"Goodbye my love," you said to me "wanted to see you one last time."
I'm now shaking and both speechless, feeling weak down deep inside.
 
Leaning over, you kiss my lips, then you vanish out of sight.
Tears are streaming down my face. I'll never ever forget this night!
 
Still my girl
Still my love
Still the one who stole my heart.
 
Go on and rest
You are the best
Even in death we did not part!
