Goodnight My Love

Goodnight, my love

I'll always love you

You came to me in the autumn of my life

As you were entering the spring of yours

You taught me to love

And see life differently through your eyes

I heard the robin sing a different tune

I saw a baby smile and my heart leaped for joy

You taught me to see that a walk in the park

Was just as thrilling as racing a car

As long as you were by my side

You taught me that love was not just a physical thing

But could be a word, a look, a simple tender moment

Now at the end of my winter life

You are still by my side

I thank you for all the things I learned from you

And the reason I say

Goodnight, my love

And not goodbye
