A song about the worst kind of loss

A friend of mine lost his Wife of just a few years to cancer. This was the song I wrote imagining how he must feel.

Lyrics:
Standing in the doorway of the place we used to live
Cold October rain all around
Winter coming soft and low
Turns to grey the autumn glow
Glimmer of a notion never found
(Chorus)
When I dream, I feel my hands tangled in your hair
When I sleep I lay down in your loving arms, softly carrying me away
I traveled to this empty place I'm standing in
On the day they told me your were gone
Since that day I'm counting time until we meet again
The day they lay me down I'll hurry home
I'll hurry home, baby
Home to you
(Chorus)
When I dream I feel my hands tangled in your hair
And I swear by all I am that I'd lay down here and die
Just to see your face once again
Whether you have wings or just the memory of your heart
I hope that you can help me through
The hardest of a thousand ways to part
