Mitt liv

this is the dress that she wore to her dance

when she was a girl in a small town romance

these are the shoes that she wore for a year

you can see where she's worn them down at the heel

this is the ring that belonged to her mother

and married one man but fell for another

this is the watch that kept perfect time

for 26 years it sat on her arm

but where are the ones that knew her?

and where are the hands that touched her?

and where are the arms that held her?

and where are the ones that loved her

this is the suit that he bought for a guinea

when stationed up north

in pupua, new guinea

and these are the shoes that he wore when he worked

you can see where the paint has mixed with the dirt

and this is the shirt that he bought in hawaii

and this is the compass that he found on safari

and this is the wallet that he always carried

and these are the cufflinks that he wore when he married

but where are the ones that knew him?

and where are the hands that touched him?

and where are the arms that held him?

and where are the ones that loved him
