We live in the future
Even the happiness of the present
Is made up mostly of
That delightful discontent
Which the HOPE of better things
Inspires.

Carol's Motto in a letter dated 28 June 1973

REMEMBER

My love is all around you
When you're awake, or in your sleep,
But, most of all when we're together
Remember, my love is true.

I'll be there when you're lonely
Even when you're sad
In times good or bad
Remember, I'm always with you.

As a new day dawns, I'll be there
Say goodnight when we tire
And as our new life begins.

We'll be sure to Remember
Never to forget
To put our hearts together
TO remember that happiness wins.

I'll be your long haired lover from Netherthird
And I'll do anything you say.
I'll be your clown or your puppet or your April Fool,
If you'll be my sunshine daisy from E.K.

But you were evidently the exception to the rule,
I picked you quickly then I ran away.
'Cause I was your long haired lover from Netherthird.
You were my sunshine daisy from E.K.

I'll be your Valentine, and you'll be mine, and things'll be cool.
We'll move along together every day.
I'll be your long haired lover from Netherthird.
You'll be my sunshine daisy from E.K
You'll be my sunshine daisy from E.K.

And Jesus said: don't be afraid-- I've come to turn your fear to hope,
I've come to take you through the deep,
to be your friend until the end, and give your troubled heart to sleep.
And Jesus said: don't be afraid-- I know your emptiness and grief,
I hear your words of unbelief, but if you will, I'll heal your soul and give your doubting heart relief.

And Jesus said: don't be afraid-- I am the Way, I am the Light,
I am the Truth that holds you tight,
and in God's home you have a room, a place of welcome and delight.
Hymn 344 CH4

LIFE GOES ON
MyCarol all these years have passed yes 7
I just wonder what's it like there in heaven?
Does the sun shine all day long?
Do you get to sing your favourite song?
''I'm on top of the world
Looking down on creation''.

I wanted you for life
You and me in the wind
I never thought there'd come a time
That our story would end
It's hard to understand
But I guess I'll have to try
It's not easy
To say goodbye

For all the joy we shared
All that time we had to spend
Now if I had one wish
I'd want forever back again
To look into your eyes
And hold you when you cry
It's not easy
To say goodbye

I can remember all those great times we had
There were so many memories some good, some bad
Yes and through it all
These memories will last
Forever

There's peace in where you are
Maybe all I need to know
And if I listen to my heart
I'll hear your laughter once more
And so I got to say
I'm just glad you came my way
It's not easy to say
Goodbye
Goodbye


BE MINE ......FOREVER xx
