Every Time He Thinks About Her

Every time he thinks about her his eyes well over with tears
Time has not fully healed his sorrow though she has been dead for years
She died in a motor car accident more than three decades ago
With their dark haired three years old daughter Jenny of eyes as blue as ripened sloe

Linda his wife a lovely woman one of the fairest of the town
Hair as dark as raven's feather pretty eyes of chestnut brown
Cruel luck took his nearest and dearest time has not healed all of his pain
Sadness tinged with the nice memories of his wife and daughter till death with him will remain

And he never did remarry his must be a lonely life
Only photos to remind him of his daughter and his wife
True enough time is a healer though some sad memories of the past
In the mind does seem to linger and through the years of time do last

Gray haired Ted in his mid seventies one who does live on his own
He does not look very healthy better days he would have known
Life does have it's good and bad times of this he knows all too well
And what the future does hold for us there is not one who can tell.
