MY VERY LAST VIEW OF YOU

YOU WERE ALWAYS SUCH
A NATURAL BORN BEAUTY
WHO HAD NO  NEED
FOR MAKEUP TO HELP
YOU  LOOK THAT WAY
AND WHEN I LAST SAW YOU
IT WAS THE VERY SAME WAY
YOUR BEAUTY RADIATED
AND YOU WERE SO PEACEFUL
WITH YOUR HEAD POSED 
THE SAME AS WHEN YOU SLEPT 
IN OUR SHARED BED AT HOME
WITH NOT A WRINKLE ON 
YOUR SERENE AND PEACEFUL FACE
AND YOUR BIG BROWN EYES
CLOSED IN PEACEFUL SLUMBER
AS IF YOU COULD AWAKE WITH
A GENTLE NUDGE FROM ME.

BUT MY LOVELY HAROLYN ANN
I DIDN’T HAVE THE POWER
TO MAKE THIS COME TO BE
SO I HELD YOU CLOSE AND
I SHED MY TEARS OVER
MY LOSS OF YOU SUCH A
SAD AND PAINFUL SCENE
AS I COULD ONLY CHERISH
THESE LAST AND PRECIOUS 
SO VERY SPECIAL MOMENTS
THAT I COULD SPEND WITH YOU
WHICH ENDED WHEN I HAD 
MY VERY LAST VIEW OF YOU.

SUCH A NATURAL BORN BEAUTY
WHO HAD NO NEED OF MAKEUP
TO MAKE YOU LOOK THAT WAY
WHICH IS ETCHED IN MY MEMORY 
FOREVER AND EVER AS LONG AS 
TIME MAY BE THESE HEARTFELT 
PRECIOUS MOMENTS OF WHEN 
MY CRYING EYES HAD MY VERY
MY VERY LAST VIEW OF YOU.

THIS VERY SPECIAL TIME OF
MY VERY LAST VIEW OF YOU 
SUCH A NATURAL BORN BEAUTY
WHO HAD NO NEED FOR MAKEUP
TO MAKE YOU LOOK THAT WAY
WAS MY VERY LAST VIEW OF YOU
THIS MY DEAREST HAROLYN ANN 
WAS MY VERY LAST VIEW OF YOU.
