Ballad of Two Lovers

You tucked your hands in my pockets deep

And gave me a loving smile

I watched you dance as you moved around

It made me feel so alive

Oh, two lovers they sway in a one-two-three!

As we waltz, is what I always sing

Frayed at the seams but stitched with grace

You and I dance in this wide-open space

You danced barefoot on wet asphalt

Our love was the greatest spark

Then life blinked once, too fast to mourn

Left only footprints in the dark

Oh, two lovers they sway in a one-two-three!

As we waltz, is what will set us free

Love and respect, as we embrace

Dancing with me in this wide-open space

You always spoke with truth and grace

A friend to all who had no friends

You moved through life with both open hands

Untroubled by the whipping rain

Then you fell ill, no cure in place

All sadness, no laughter to trace

I stood by your side for as long as I could

While your presence faded away from me

Oh, two lovers they sway in a one-two-three!

While we waltzed, is what I used to sing

But now you're gone, stolen from me

And I dance alone in this wide-open space

ONE! TWO! THREE!

All alone

Now it's just me
