Raining in my Heart

I see you walking in the clouds above
Umbrella overhead, sweet music plays
Reminding me of all that we have shared
Before you left me on that fateful day.

Our life was one of harmony and love
Our family grown, it was now time for us
To roam the world and see what life would bring
We made our plans, no worries did we have.

You kissed my cheek and then before you went
Did promise me that you would not be long
You took your brolly just in case it rained
I never dreamed that this would be the end.

The time ticked by, I thought you would be back
The rain it drizzled down the window pane
I waited patiently for your return
And then I heard that knock upon the door.

A look of horror must have crossed my face
Their uniforms and sadness told it all,
I'm sorry Ma'am, but we have some bad news
An accident has claimed your husband's life.

I stared at them in quiet disbelief
He's on his way, he shouldn't be too long
And then I saw the pity in their eyes
We're sorry Ma'am, I have to tell you this.

It happened while he crossed the road at lights
A driver came, the red light he did run
Your husband really never stood a chance
He suffered not; we're sorry for your loss.

My heart was torn away that tragic day
I close my eyes, still see you in my mind
You are with me with every breath I take
My tears run free like rivers down my face.

I know that if you could, you would return
And take me in your arms and hold me tight,
I stand outside and wait for you my love
And when I raise my eyes a vision comes

I see you walking in the clouds above
Umbrella overhead, sweet music plays
Please come for me, I'll go with no regret
And be with you in love's sweet melody.
