I thought of you today, But that is nothing new. I thought of you yesterday, And the day before that, too.
I think of you in silence, I often speak your name. All I have are memories And a picture in a frame.
Your memory is a keepsake, From which I’ll never part,
God has you in His arms, But I have you in my heart.
