THE BETTER HALF OF MY SOUL

My world is all green and bright

As long as she is with me

Everything becomes darker than night

When she leaves me lonely.

Far, far away and yet so near

My heart and mind and soul

I don't know for how much more

I will have to gulp down tears.

To live without my life -- I can't

For many days this I know

To die without her beside me -- I can't

She is the better half of my soul.
