Each morning when I wake
Till night when I can sleep
I give my best smile to the world
Yet my heart inside does weep
The days they feel so lonely
Some days I’m so alone
No laugh or hugs to guide me
Or missed call on the phone
Just simple, pure reminders
That will fade over time
Photographs fade with the light
Life rang its final chime
There will be days of sunshine
Followed by days of sorrow
Today can be a fun-filled day
Followed by the darkness of tomorrow
You won’t be there in person
To raise my sorry frown
Or hold your hands to catch me
When I’m falling down
Memories stay with me
Forever they remain
They turn into an invisible shield
That protects me from the pain
Until the day I see you
I have no place to hide
Staring life’s woes in the face
With your spirit by my side
The chain will link again.
