Then You Left Me

I slept along your bedside

Close by you night and day

I tried so hard to keep you

Not let you fade away

But though you fought the sickness

That lodged within so deep

I had no power to save you

And wake you from your sleep

I whispered, keep on breathing

But it was not to be

I left your room a moment

'Twas then that you left me

Each night I say I miss you

Here in my lonely bed

And always I will love you

As on the day we wed.
