Rhymes of the Heart
This Old Shade Of Gray
I sit here thoughts running rampart
Of someone whose now far away
Call out your name the tears fall free
Wearing this old shade of gray
Time it raced just couldn't stand still
It marched ever onward for you
I know you were ready but how could I be
Even knowing all you'd been through
I watched you wither down through the years
In my heart I begged you to stay
The day that you left my world crumbled and fell
Now it's wearing this old shade of gray
Fly with the Angels I know you're at peace
Though I mourn at letting you go
Your memory I carry now etched in my heart
Still grieving I let the tears flow
Oh how I loved her and miss her sweet face
Please tell her she's thought of today
As I sit here with thoughts running rampart
Still wearing this old shade of gray
