Written by Lawrence Farrell in 2023 Dedicated to his sister in law Yvonne What is happening to me? I cannot tell I seem to think I’m not too well Who is that stood there, he seems so nice He said I love you, he said it twice I know him now, I am his wife And I’ve loved him all our married life Yet sometimes my thoughts are not too clear What is today? What is the year? What is happening to me? I cannot say Please take me home, i know the way At home I’ll sing and dance once more I’ll ‘Zorba’s Dance’ across my floor We’ll talk of how our life has been Of things we did and things we’d seen Of how we loved and planned a life Of happiness devoid of strife What is happening to me? I feel so weak I’ve things to say but cannot speak My daughter stands beside my bed I feel her tears upon my head My light is now dim and no longer glows There’s darkness now, not what I chose Where am I now, why must I wait? What is happening to me, what is my fate? What is happening to me? I feel content It feels so nice, so heaven scent So blissful in a tranquil world Our Shangri La lies here unfurled I’ll wait with patience for my man He’ll join with me when he just can And when his life he has fulfilled A paradise just here we’ll build
