143. THE RED BENCH IN THE PARK


You told me over the phone 
That you’d come and meet me 
Somewhere in the park 
Beneath that special tree 

I went there and I waited 
From seven in the morning until three 
Sitting on the red bench in the park
With an umbrella as my company 

Braving the cold winter wind
I kept waiting oh so patiently 
Your words kept ringing in my mind 
“Baby please be there for me” 

My tears then started falling 
And rolling down my cheeks 
My world came down crushing 
And everything seemed so bleak 

Everything seemed to fade 
Far away from my sight 
Maybe hidden by my tears 
Or enveloped by the night 

It was then I realised 
Something must have gone wrong 
You would never have made me 
Waited for you so long 

Now years had passed by 
But you're never forgotten 
You left without goodbye 
To be with God in heaven 

I just want you to know 
That the love you've given me
I will always treasure 
For eternity
