Favorite Song

A man and a woman lying in bed one night

Wrapped in each other, she's holding him tight

He moves down to her chest and turns his head to the side

takes a deep breath and closes his eyes

He says "I could do this all day long,

because your heartbeat is my favorite song."

A young woman dressed in a medical gown

today is the day of her first ultrasound

"There's your baby!" She turns her head to the side

and looked at the screen as tears fell from her eyes

"The baby looks good, and the heartbeat is strong!"

That strange swirling sound became her favorite song.

An old man sat by a hospital bed

He listened carefully to the words that she said

"You know I love you, I'll see you again someday."

He held her hand as the music faded away

"Goodbye my love, goodbye my best friend."

He said as his favorite song came to an end.
