Portals of Light

I sit here by your side

And weep you goodbye

I'm singing songs of sorrow for you

True gentle rose of mine

Upon my arm I've tied a ribbon in black

Although I know too well that this

Will not ever bring you back

I feel so astray inside

As I know you're far away

Let my love shine and be your guide

On your way towards the portals of light

A lonely candle burns for you, my only love

Meanwhile you roam the clouds among

Heaven's angels high above

What is there left to live for

As you've gone away?

Hope's lost forevermore

I'll mourn you till the end of days

I feel so astray inside

As I know you're far away

Let my love shine and be your guide

On your way towards the portals of light

Hear, my love

Hear my cry of deepest grief

As I weep for you eternally

Praying for your soul

And for light and for relief

As I shed your tears of misery

I feel so astray inside

As I know you're far away

Let my love shine and be your guide

On your way towards the portals of light

I feel so astray inside

As I know you're far away

Let my love shine and be your guide

On your way towards the portals of light
