lyrics

In last week’s paper, he saw a request.
They were looking for songs, said they’d choose the best.
He wasn’t a writer, and he wasn’t a singer.
He never expected to be the winner,
But he knew his song kept his wife alive,
So he sent it in, not knowing the prize.
A producer gave him a call one day.
He said “I’ll record your song, what do you say?”
“Why would you do that for me, what is your fee?”
“Oh, you misunderstand me, sir, I’ll do all this for free.”

I love you my darling, I love you my dear.
I love you my soldier and flight engineer.
You are the sweetest, for rich or for poor.
For better or worse, it’s you I adore.

She ran out of time to write a song back,
But if she did, it would go something like that.
He missed her so very much,
He missed her smile and her gentle touch.
A voice came to his home to sing,
And he knew his wife was listening.

I love you my darling, I love you my dear.
I love you my war nurse and art pioneer.
You are the sweetest, for rich or for poor.
For better or worse, it’s you I adore.

He knew this was how his song should be.
It sounded like her musically.
And so, he replayed her melody,
It helped him sleep more easily.
