Today I watched the setting sun,
Content with many things I've done,
And yet I see a vision strong,
A pictured love, I've loved so long.

Then wispy clouds that happen by
Attempt to hide the sun, they try,
Yet as the sun is brighter still,
Like love, which has a stronger will.

And then a tear drifts down my cheek,
Because of words I long to speak.
My love dwells in the words I'd say,
But you're so very far away.

And then I sigh a lonely sigh,
While knowing that until I die,
My love will live within my heart
Though providence keeps us apart.

And then a thought occurs to me,
That as I close my eyes I see,
That vision of your lovely smile,
Which then sustains me for awhile.
