I looked outside my window
On a dreary, wintry day
And saw two cardinals playing
I watched 'til they flew away

Their playfulness reminded me
Of a love from long ago
When life was kind and full of joy
Before he had to go

When I sit by the fireplace
It's more than I can bear 
A tender longing fills my heart
Because I still see him there

Then suddenly I remember
As the past starts to unfold
He's gone from me forever
And the warmth turns into cold

You asked me why I'm grieving so
And I could not explain
It broke my heart to say good-bye
Now nothing is the same

It's pointless to reflect on
The memories I still hold
A heart once happy and filled with love
Feels nothing but the cold
