I WILL ALWAYS LOVE YOU
Looking out her window one dark and rainy day
The words he spoke so long ago , she could hear him say

No warm arms to hold her and she longs for his touch
The gentle kiss on her lips , she misses this so very much
Smiling she remembers the time they went for lunch
No Champagne could he afford- the ring was in her punch
The burger and fries they shared, a thing they liked to do
Her tears flowing free, as one landed on her shoe
She picked up the picture, the one from off the stand
And tightly held it to her breast, just like she held the man
She looked and smiled at the picture and put it to her lips
Setting the picture down said, "I'll always love you Chip!

And asking why these things should hurt so much,
My past was catching up and needed
Tired and hurt by their deceiving
I had given up believing
in a Mister Right for me
I faced a lonely destiny
But then you
