Missing you today and forever. Sad is the heart that loves you,
and silent the tears that fall,
living our lives without you,
is the hardest part of all.
Everything life has given us,
and all that’s left to do,
we’ll never know a greater love,
than the years we spent with you.
You are not just a memory,
or a part of the past.
You’re our to remember,
as long as our hearts last.
