Recessional © Copyright George Papavgeris, November 2002 I believe that despite our imperfections, much can be forgiven, as long as we have the capacity to love. Yes, I know that the road to hell is paved by good intentions; but I love the damned as well, not just the angels. Before I say goodbye I take a look behind me To see what mark a simple life has made. Recall the happy times and keep them deep inside me Before my memory of this world will fade. They say that every life behind it leaves a ripple But I did nothing grand and earned no fame. Yet one thing I did right, important, yet so simple: I had the sense to love you when you came. Too late to have regrets, too late to learn the lesson Too late now to put right what I did wrong. I know I can't go back, the pain I caused to lessen It's hard to make amends with just one song. When weighed against the deeds whose memory still shames me The little good I did now seems so tame. So when I reach the Gate, only one thing will save me I had the sense to love you when you came. |
