I COULD NEVER TAKE YOUR PLACE

I COULD NEVER TAKE YOUR PLACE

A voyage across the deep blue sea
And we were true, fast friends
Sometimes it happens just that way
A trust and truce that never ends;
His eyes told a sad, sad story
It was written all over his face
He might have planned it but I knew
I could never take your place.

His best friend, soulmate and loving wife
You meant the whole world to him
And when you died, you took away
A light that has grown dim;
He tries to live and love and laugh
As he unpacks his suitcase
We smile and hug but I know
I could never take your place.

Your place is well preserved now
You'll always be his true love
And when the winter nights begin
You'll watch him from above;
Your love will last FOREVER
'Cause you're his blessing and grace
We both know that it's the truth
I could never take your place.

So I won't even try
To ever take your place.
