IN LOVING MEMORY        

of

HENRY CLARK LAIR

November 29, 1916 - September 25, 1997

 Don't think of him as gone away-

his journey's just begun

liife holds so many facets-

this earth is only one

Just think of him as resting

from the sorrows and the tears

in a place of warmth and comfort

where there are no days and years

Think how he must be wishing

that we could know today

how nothing but our sadness

can really pass away

And think of him as living

in the hearts of those he touched...

for nothing loved is ever lost

and he was loved so much!    
      

If I had only Known

If I had only known it was our last walk in the rain

I'd keep you out for hours in the storm

I would hold your hand, like a lifeline to my heart

and underneath the thunder we'd be warm.

If I had only known it was our last walk in the rain.

If I had only known I'd never hear your voice again                                 

I'd memorize each thing you ever said                                                                                  

And on these lonely nights, I could think of them once more

And keep your words alive inside my head

If I had only known I'd never hear your voice again.

You were the treasure in my heart

You were the one who always stood by me

So unaware, I foolishly believed that you would always be there  

But then there came a day when I closed my eyes

And you slipped away.

If I had only known it was my last time by your side

I'd pray a miracle would stop the dawn

And when you smiled at me, I would look into your eyes

And make sure you know my love for you goes on and on

If I had only known, If I had only known.

The love I would have shown

If I had only known.
