#279 OUR LOVE REMAINS WITH EACH TEAR

SET YOU FREE
Copyright 2018 by Judy Unger
You’re hanging on as night turns to dawn
I know you can’t stay and soon you’ll be gone
We both know it’s hard to let go
Wherever you are my love won’t be far
–
Your smile, your touch, your voice, your face
Your essence I will never replace
Though I long for you to hold me; I need to set you free
–
There is no fear and your leaving is clear
We’ll still have our love it remains with each tear
I cry as you leave, though I truly believe
as you leave my sight we’ll both be all right
–
Your smile, your touch, your voice, your face
Your essence I will never replace
Though I long for you to hold me
I need to set you free
–
Though you have flown to somewhere unknown
we’re never apart; you’re here in my heart
–
Your smile, your touch, your voice, your face
your essence I will never replace
though I long for you to hold me; I need to set you free
though I long for you to hold me; I need to set you free

I wrote the sentence “you’ve left my sight” in my song “Set You Free” to imply departure, not necessarily death.
