But now my heart is broken, I have lost my wonderful you. Over the years you have proved to me How much you loved me too, By being the greatest husband and dad. How do I live without you? You never said an unkind word, An example to us all. You were good, and kind, and generous, Your family will recall. The love you've given all of us Will linger in our hearts, And somehow we'll go on living Although we are apart. Someday I will be with you, Together until the end. I'll hold you deep within my heart Until we meet again. Hand on my heart, I will never stop loving you.
