From my window I watch the world go by

These old bones don't carry me like before

But these eyes have seen decades come and go

Like shadows dancing on my weathered floor

The bakery where fresh bread filled the air

Now just a place where smoke and newspapers meet

The florist where I bought her first bouquet

Is empty now, a ghost along the street

I remember trembling hands and racing heart

That summer day when love was new and wild

The shopkeeper smiled knowingly at me

As I chose flowers for my future bride

Time keeps moving like clouds across the sky

While I remain, a witness to it all

The faces change, the buildings rise and fall

But memories, they never fade at all

Through this window, I've watched a lifetime pass

Through this window, I've seen the seasons change

My heart still holds the colors of those days

When we were young and time seemed far away

When we were young and time seemed far away

I walk these rooms where echoes still remain

Of children's laughter, of her gentle voice

The avenue I traveled home each day

Is crowded now with strangers and with noise

My children care for me with loving hands

They bring me food and stories of their days

But nothing fills the space she left behind

Her absence like a fog that never strays

I still feel her presence in this house

In corners where her favorite plants still grow

The kitchen where she'd hum and stir the pot

The bedroom where we whispered soft and low

Time keeps moving like river to the sea

While I remain, a vessel of the past

The world grows colder, faster than before

But in my mind, our moments still hold fast

Will they remember how to feel the rain?

Will they still notice how the sunlight falls?

Will someone teach them how to love so deep

That even death can't wash away it all?

The world moves faster than it used to do

People walking with their eyes cast down

No one stops to greet their neighbor now

Or feel the wind that whispers through the town

But questions fade as daylight softly dims

And there she stands, just as she was before

Her smile unchanged by sickness or by time

As beautiful as on the day we met

Through this window, a lifetime has now passed

Through this window, all seasons had their day

My heart releases colors of those years

As time at last now gently slips away

Through this window, I've loved, I've lost, I've lived

Through this window, I've watched our family grow

My journey ends where yours once did, my love

And to your waiting arms, I finally go

I close my eyes and take her outstretched hand

The window's frame no longer holds me here

Her voice calls softly, "Darling, come with me"

And finally, I'm home again, my dear

The light grows warm around us as we walk

Into the glow of memories we've made

The pain subsides, the years fall away

As I return to where I'm meant to stay

Home again...

With you again...

At peace again...

At last again…
