I turned the key in the lock tonight
And I walked slowly into the room
You're presence hung like a heavy mist
And I knew death had come too soon
The stars may be shining for somebody else
The moon may be giving it's light
But all that I have is a memory of you
And I'm lost in a world black as night
Death came too soon to the one that I loved
And now I must travel alone
Just a wandering boy with a broken heart
Who's sweetheart and pal is now gone
* Refrain
I'll travel on thru this world of despair
I'll just force myself to go on
I find myself wishing every day
I could be with her in the beyond
* Refrain
