I sit by the window in my old chair
Reminiscing about the days long gone
When I was young without a care
When I smiled, laughed, and had fun
It was a long time ago, yes
Now, I am frail and old
But I want to tell you what I loved best
What I had treasured more than gold
I met this girl years ago
In the midst of the horrors of war
At that time, I did not know
That in one night we'd come so far
We were different, yet we were one
I had called her my dark beauty, my moon
She had called me her light, her sun
Little did we know that we'd part so soon
Leaving her was the biggest mistake I made
Yet she had waited for me
My memories of her will never fade
She will forever remain dear to me
I abandoned her, I failed her
I thought she had died
That's why I married another
And took Ellen as my bride
Oh, if only I had been strong
Then maybe we could have been together
She waited for me three years long
I know she'd wait even until forever
Her name was Kim, my beautiful Kim
And now she is dead and gone
She died many years ago
She died for our beloved son
We had a child but I didn't know
And when I knew, I refused to take him with me
I had refused to care for him and watch him grow
And all because Ellen asked, "Her or me? "
It was then that Kim gave our son to me
By shooting herself with my gun
"I can't give him a good life. Please, do it for me. "
Then she died, and in my arms she was gone
That's when I realised I still loved her
Even with Ellen by my side
And it was too late, she was gone forever
But I had to try and make things right
I lived a long life with our wonderful son
I cared for him just as I had promised Kim
But my time is now long gone
I have done all I can for him
I closed my eyes one final time
The room around me is dark and forlorn
But still, no matter, I'll see Kim again
And our love will finally be reborn
