Every time I close my eyes br I think of you my dear, br Although your image will not fade br I wish you were still here. br br Just to see you smile again br To laugh and share a joke, br I cherish every word you said br The final time we spoke. br br As you will stay forever young br In turn I must grow old, br Although I cannot touch you now br Your memory I will hold. br br Such beauty that you did possess br Your long dark flowing hair, br The warmth within your chestnut eyes br Your skin so soft and fair. br br I longed to say I love you br I'll regret this to the end, br Until the time we meet again br My everlasting friend.
