A Song for Wendy (51)

A Song for Wendy (51)

1

Dear Wendy once played a big part in my life

We had so much fun there was no time for strife

From a meal to a film we might mock late at night

What happened (extended line)

          My darling (extended line)

Please tell me dear Wendy who turned out the light?

2

While others around us might shed a few tears

We occupied Heaven for a number of years

Love burned so brightly; it always felt right

What happened (extended line)

          My darling (extended line)

Please tell me dear Wendy who turned out the light?

3

Love is a mystery that’s hard to explain

Like a colourful rainbow unable to remain

Or the wings of an eagle about to take flight

What happened (extended line)

          My darling (extended line)

Please tell me dear Wendy who turned out the light?

4

Our rainbow just faded; it’s hard to see now

Hearts that are broken recover somehow

Ignoring the tears that fall in the night

What happened (extended line)

          My darling (extended line)

Please tell me dear Wendy who turned out the light?

5

Maybe an illusion corrupted our dream

A damn in a river or else a small stream

An eclipse of the sun or a stray meteorite

What happened (extended line)

          My darling (extended line)

Please tell me dear Wendy who turned out the light?

6

How long is it now? Well it’s been a long time

Since we were together and both in our prime

With love our protector beyond malice or crime

Dear Wendy (extended line)

          My darling (extended line)

The love that we shared was superb and sublime

(Repeat the music of the last line without the lyrics being sang).

The End
