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
