Larry

Nineteen years of memories, stacked up like photographs,

Filled with all our quiet moments and our easy laughs.

You always had a patient way, a calm and steady heart,

I knew that we'd be happy, Larry, right there from the start.

Oh, Larry, you were gentle, you were caring and so kind,

You brought a special kind of peace to my heart and to my mind.

We spent nineteen years together, just walking side by side,

In the shelter of your loving arms, I had nothing left to hide.

I will miss you, oh, forever, as the lonely seasons turn,

For the patient love you gave me, my heart will always yearn.

I look around the quiet room, and picture you right here,

Your presence always brought me comfort whenever you were near.

We were always happy, darling, just being me and you,

You made every single morning feel so beautiful and new.

You were always kind and gentle, with a soft and steady voice,

Giving you my heart was such an easy, natural choice.

Oh, Larry, you were gentle, you were caring and so kind,

You brought a special kind of peace to my heart and to my mind.

We spent nineteen years together, just walking side by side,

In the shelter of your loving arms, I had nothing left to hide.

I will miss you, oh, forever, as the lonely seasons turn,

For the patient love you gave me, my heart will always yearn.

They say that time will heal the ache, but I don't think it's true,

'Cause every ticking of the clock just makes me long for you.

Nineteen years went by too fast, but oh, the roots grew deep,

I'll hold onto the care you gave, a promise I will keep.

Oh, Larry, you were gentle, you were caring and so kind,

You brought a special kind of peace to my heart and to my mind.

We spent nineteen years together, just walking side by side,

In the shelter of your loving arms, I had nothing left to hide.

I will miss you, oh, forever, as the tear drops start to fall,

Nineteen years of loving you was the greatest gift of all.
