And on blue Cleveland Hills

Hats on the top hooks
Caps that you wore.
Now where you’ve gone
You will need them no more.

My hats will be puzzled,
Hanging there all alone
Now when I see yours
My heart feels like astone.

I found some of your shoes
All covered with green
Now they’re in the bin bag
No more to be seen.

I found half  your pyjamas
The rest are all gone.
I wonder where these hid,
Where’ve they come from?

Last night in my dreams
You were right by my side
We were cleaning the oven
With brillo and Tide.

But when I awakened
No glimpse did I see.
Except looking slantwise
Towards the red  maple tree,

Why did you leave me?
Why did you go?
I held your left hand
And fondled it so.

Come back to your loved one
Don’t leave me alone.
I don’t want to live
Just to hear myself groan.

Touch me with your fingers
Melt my poor, sad, lone heart
I let go of your hand~
Then the agony starts.

Up north in old Richmond
And on blue Cleveland Hills
I’ll remember your dear face
As my eyes with tears fill.

I will lift up mine eyes
To the hills where my strength
Comes down from the Heavens
Endless in length.

Stronger than granite,
Stronger than steel,
Stronger than silver
Is the love that I feel.

Stronger than iron;
Stronger than gold;
Stronger is my love,
For the one I once held.
