We sat beside your bedside, Our hearts were crushed and sore, We did our best to the end, ‘Til we could do no more. In tears we watched you sinking We watched you fade away, And though our hearts were breaking, We knew you could not stay. You left behind some aching hearts, That loved you most sincere; We never shall and never will Forget you Bruce dear.
