I have lost my soul's companion,
A life linked with my own;
And day by day I miss her more,
As I walk through life alone.
To have, to hold and then to part;
Is the greatest sorrow of my heart.
 
In memoriam donations may be made to the Canadian Cancer Society. 
 
 
ONLY YOU
 
I KNOW I SHOULD BE HAPPY
FOR OVER 15 YEARS OF BLISS
AND I AM, I REALLY AM
YOU MUST BELIEVE THAT IT’S TRUE
BUT IT’S HARD TO BE LEFT ALONE
AND I GUESS IT’S HARD AS WELL FOR YOU
SO I GUESS AT THE ROAD AHEAD
LYING AWAKE AND ALONE IN BED
IT’S SO HARD TO FACE THE FUTURE WITHOUT YOU

THERE’S ONLY YOU,
IT’S ALWAYS BEEN YOU
YOUR’E ALL I EVER WANTED, ALL I EVER NEEDED
IT’S ALWAYS BEEN YOU
FRIEND AND COMPANION
LOVER AND WIFE
AT MY SIDE WHEN I WAS IN NEED
MY SOULMATE, MY LIFE

THOUGH GOD STILL WALKS BESIDE ME
IT’S NOT THE SAME AS YOU
AND I MISS YOU, REALLY MISS YOU
PLEASE BELIEVE THIS IS TRUE
IT’S SO HARD TO DRUM UP INTEREST
IN TRYING THINGS ALONE
NO-ONE TO TALK WITH, LATE AT NIGHT
NO-ONE TO WALK WITH AT MORNING’S LIGHT
WHEN IT COMES TO THAT, I’D SOONER STAY HOME

THE FEEL OF YOUR TOUCH UPON MY HAND
YOUR VOICE MEANS SO MUCH – PLEASE UNDERSTAND
IT’S NOT GONE, BUT IT HAS CHANGED OR SO IT SEEMS
I SEE YOU LIGHT UP WHEN I DRAW NEAR
BUT IT’S NOT QUITE THE SAME, I FEAR
AM I JUST A VISITOR IN YOUR DREAMS
DO YOU KNOW ME, REALLY KNOW ME
AS YOUR HUSBAND AT ALL

THERE’S ONLY YOU, IT’S ALWAYS BEEN YOU
YOUR’E ALL I EVER WANTED, ALL I EVER NEEDED
IT’S ALWAYS BEEN YOU
FRIEND AND COMPANION
LOVER AND WIFE
AT MY SIDE WHEN I WAS IN NEED
MY SOULMATE, MY LIFE

STILL I GUESS WE MUST MOVE FORWARD
THERE’S NOT MUCH ELSE THAT WE CAN DO
AND I STILL LOVE YOU, REALLY LOVE YOU
I HOPE YOU KNOW THIS IS TRUE
AND I PRAY FOR GODLY GUIDANCE
‘CAUSE NO MAN SHOULD WALK ALONE
AND I STILL HOLD YOUR HANDS
I STILL TELL YOU OF MY PLANS
THOUGH AT TIMES I FIND THERE’S NO-ONE AT HOME

THERE’S ONLY YOU, IT’S ALWAYS BEEN YOU
YOUR’E ALL I EVER WANTED, ALL I EVER NEEDED
IT’S ALWAYS BEEN YOU
FRIEND AND COMPANION
LOVER AND WIFE
AT MY SIDE WHEN I WAS IN NEED
MY SOULMATE, MY LIFE
