Beyond All Tomorrows
20 Dec 2018 6:06 Pm
You entered the room and slid off your sandles
I struck a match and lit two candles
You opened the wine and poured into glass
I lit the fireplace and turned up the gas
You gave the victrolla a couple of winds
I took you in my arms and we whirled in time
You looked into my eyes and saw my soul
I looked into your eyes and was made whole
The war raged on just a few miles away
While to the music the two of us swayed
We savoured the moment and lived that one night
Our hearts joined together and then took flight
No worry for what tomorrow would bring
Just letting our souls in harmony sing
Love poured forth from so deep within
We both new that we would not meet again
We woke with the dawning and left to meet our fate
You to the field hospital and I to the pearly gates
War is hell and parting such sorrow
But we had that moment to last beyond all tomorrows
