I'm gone,
I've been gone,
I have been gone from your life for a long time,
and I have probably been gone a long time from your mind,
and now, now you call me on the telephone line,
what is wrong,
In the evening light
In the evening light,
oh, what glorious sun,
and what a delicate beautiful aroma in the evening light,
as I smell the flowers in the garden,
and their perfume it reminds me of you,
and I sit for a moment or two,
and I smile to myself,
and I toast your health,
and the birds they sing,
and how gloriously they do,
and how beautifully you do too,
and I think to myself,
how wonderful the melodies of the songs that you sing,
and how magical they are to me,
and I remember when you stood before me,
last time singing to me so beautifully,
a tune that you had written,
and that had me smitten,
oh, how my heart it melted as I listened to you,
and the beauty of your voice,
it soothed me through and through,
and I drifted away,
to a tropical place when you sang to me,
and when you sang,
I pictured a tropical island in an ocean so blue,
and I fell into your eyes,
and you had me mesmerised,
and every time I think, how beautiful you look,
you with your piercing blues,
those beautiful eyes that captivate me so wonderfully,
as you sang to me,
and every time you sing to me, and you look at me,
I fall deeper in love with you,
and here in the garden amongst the flowers,
I cannot wait for you to return and to talk to you for hours,
and for us to hold each other close once more,
and to watch the glorious sunset with you,
and to watch the meteors flying across the heavens,
as the stars and the moon, they shine down upon us,
and I revel in your company,
and I revel in the effervescent beauty of you,
and the evening with you is always a magical thing,
and what a wonder is our love,
and how lucky we are,
to find each other,
as we did,
and how thankful for you I am,
because, without you,
without you what would I do?
