Now That You've Gone

Susan Rutherford, © August, 1995

Verse:

You may be gone but you're here in my heart.
Living Close by, in my memories.
Throughout your pain, your joys and fears,
You bore them all� without any tears.

Chorus:

And now I cry for you are gone
The only one who could fill my heart with song
I will be brave, and carry on
But it will be hard... for you are gone.

Verse:

Now you are gone my heart is filled with tears
Although you wouldn't want me to grieve for years
A corner of my heart for you alone
A special love that is all my own.

Back to Chorus

Verse: (changed melody)

But you're not truly gone for you live within me
To guard and guide� and keep my spirit flying free
As I sing this song, and while I breathe
You'll be alive always... in my memories.

Back to Chorus (extended)

"Now That You're Gone" is dedicated to Nancy Apps née Young
who was a second mother to me and who, sadly lost her fight
with breast cancer on the 3^rd August 1995. She always called
me her little Pixie Icecream ;) and to this day it makes me smile.
A loving and caring lady who fought bravely and without
bitterness until the very end. I miss you and you live on in my
Heart.
