Maria Daines ~ I Will Wear Black
Thank you everyone for your kind words on the acoustic version of 'I Will Wear Black', here is the full version xx
'I Will Wear Black'
Where the wild roses grow
In the silent fields of loss
Beloved names are etched in stone
For those who lived and loved and lost
See the ones who come to pray
And lay their hands upon the ground
Last words they couldn't say
Spoken softly to the clouds
These arms still feel you
This heart remembers
Your smile still lingers in my sad old eyes
The stars, the flowers
These cruel empty hours
The tears of time hold fast these precious ties
All the laughter we once knew
Little bells that ring around the house
The chair that holds the shape of you
The love that will not let me out
Don't wanna leave, I don't want to forget
Not yet, not ever, I will always look back
There is no goodbye, I can't regret
And I will wear black
These arms still feel you
This heart remembers
Your smile still lingers in my sad old eyes
The stars, the flowers
Cruel empty hours
The tears of time hold fast these precious ties
Another sunset follows rain
The books you bought and never read
Your birthday picture in a frame
Smiling eyes still look ahead
Life will never be the same
Yet the heart is ever strong
Love will conquer and remain
And keep her gift, her endless bond
These arms still feel you
This heart remembers
Your smile still lingers in my sad old eyes
The stars, the flowers
These cruel empty hours
The tears of time hold fast these precious ties
Don’t wanna leave, don’t wanna forget
I will always look back
No goodbye, no regret
I will wear black
I will wear black
I will wear black
