I close my eyes as I wipe a tear.

I just keep wishing you were still here.

I will hold all the memories deep in my heart.

Through these memories will never part.

I close my eyes as I wipe a tear.

I just keep wishing this pain would disappear.

I didn’t get the chance to say my last good-bye.

I just didn’t think you could ever die.

I close my eyes as I wipe a tear.

All of your love I will always hold near.

In my heart and my mind I will never be alone.

WE LOVE AND MISS YOU!

Those we love don’t go away,

They walk beside us every day,

Unseen, unheard, but always near,

Still loved, still missed and very dear.
