How can I face this night alone
knowing you're not coming home?
All these hours ahead of me
so many tears, I can hardly see


I'm so lonely 'cause you're not here
as I sit staring at your favorite chair
There's your robe and slippers too
gee whiz, Honey, what can I do?


I'll make a sandwich, have a cup of tea
and think of how much you meant to me
Now I'm walking and pacing the floor
just happened to open the closet door


You'd probably laugh at what I see
It's a box that's marked "my memories"
Here's a four leaf clover for that lucky day
when you said all the things I wanted you to say


There's a funny Valentine
That says "I'm a begger, please be mine"
Here's a button from your coat, and old hat you wore
A trinket you bought me from the country store


Oh ! there it is, haven't heard it for so long
A record of our favorite song
I miss you Honey, wish you were here
Just can't help it, still fighting back the tears


I know that you're gone, but my memories will stay
"God , please help me make it through another day"
