Darling, waterfalls would cease falling,
Mourning doves would stop calling,
Most joy would be withdrawn,
If you were gone.

The sun would shine less bright,
And o'er the land a blight,
Would spread out upon,
If you were gone.

Children's laughter would cease,
I would find little peace,
Becoming sad and forlorn,
If you were gone.

People's smiles would seem cold,
And the young much too old,
The world sallow and withdrawn,
If you were gone.

A soft, gentle touch,
Would feel abrasive and rough,
Happiness behind me and bygone,
If you were gone.

My darling, my loving wife,
You're my world - my whole life,
And there would be no more dawns,
If you were gone.
