Once upon a time you would travel

A hundred miles with a smile

Just to be by my side

Now you would not make

The journey across a room


And where we once watched sunsets

We now watch television in silence


Of all the things that I will miss

Oh, your shy laugh, your tender kiss

The thing that I will miss the most

Is you holding my hand


Although parting is such sour sorrow

I agree that we'll be 

Happier apart 

For you no longer smile at me 

As once upon a time you did


Where we gazed at the Milky Way 

We now gaze at the floor in silence


Of all the things that I will miss

Oh, your shy laugh, your tender kiss

The thing that I will miss the most

Is you holding my hand


Wherever you go 

Take my love with you
