Our Love Goes On

They tell me man is mortal,
And too swiftly years do fly.
It seems he hardly enters life,
Ere comes his time to die.

But I cannot believe it,
And even if it's true-
When these old bones, are dead and gone...
I'll go on loving you.

My voice will be upon the wind-
My form among the trees-
You'll feel my kiss and my carress,
On every gentle breeze.

They tell me that my time is near-
But I know that they're wrong...
For though they lay this flesh to rest,
Our love goes on and on.

*sigh* this is wonderfully romantic and sings with your special touch. Love never dies......it overcomes even death itself. Very well done, my friend.  

Love I leave with you whether it is in your life now or yet the essense of your dreams.

the best line, the one that truly sums up the sentiment exactly, was somehow captured by a screenwriter, of all people - in Phenomenon.
"i can't promise i'll love you for the rest of your life, but i'll love you for the rest of mine."
here, you have managed to transcend even that. bravo.
