in this room

I don't really relate to this song but I first heard it on CNN's tribute to Ronald Reagan. I thought it's really beautiful... to anyone whose loved ones have departed...

      In This Room

         In this room
         lives the sweet ghost
         of a love gone away
         it comes to me
         whispering the things you used to say
         between hills and valleys
         the softness where we lay
         in this room
         it's lonely now
         in this room
         I can barely breathe
         this air that speaks your name
         it flows through me
         from each corner
         from the window frame
         where we used to watch together
         for the sun to rise again
         in this room
         I miss you
         in this room
         there's a place on the wall
         a picture of you and me
         In this room
         I can recall
         the dreams you shared with me
         and it felt like a castle
         now it feels more like a tomb
         in this room
         I remember
         they say true love never dies
         but sometimes lovers do
         and few ever realize
         the kind of love we knew
         in this room
         there were flowers
         sent to ease the pain
         and I pray for hours
         trying to understand
         how one life passing
         could mean this love is through
         in this room.
