As each day passes
And your thoughts start to stray
Time passes so slowly
The hurt won’t go away

You try to accept
What was found and then lost
You’d give anything to go back
No matter the cost

She came out of nowhere
One day she was there
She shined where she walked
And gold waved in her hair

We laughed and we cried
Her smile was divine
I looked in her eyes
And my heart beat for the first time

We shared and we shared
I hope she can understand
That she created a new life
When she first held my hand

Sitting by the fire
Staring in her eyes
The world seemed to stop
And time was a disguise

It does no good to dwell
On how deep the pain goes
You get good at covering it up
But the scar still shows

She made me feel loved
For the very first time
Like a shroud had been lifted
The world turned on a dime

Her body just glowed
With the spirit inside
It was wonderous to see
The love you can’t hide

I miss her so much
But that’s life you see
And all I can do now
Is focus on me

I don’t know
If she’ll ever look back
But in case she does
I’ll get my life on track

Until the day comes
Our paths cross like streams
I’ll look forward to rest
And find her face in my dreams
