How shall I

How shall I comfort her?
When her loves been lost
When he took his own life
Without weighing out the cost

How shall I tell her?
Oh, I could sing a song
Telling her my knowledge
About how her love has gone

How shall I hold her?
Close or far or near
How distant should I stay?
Oh, how I watch her drip a tear

How shall I take her?
To his funeral
She’s wearing a small black dress
With a string of pearl

How shall I know?
If in heaven he shall reign

And how shall I ask her
If she will be the same…
