Memories

When you are gone,

Memories are all I have to hold on,

So let me take your pictures,

Let your smile remain captured,

I still wish to record your laughter,

I still want a collection of your happy tears,

You think I'm silly,

But when I don't have you I'll live on memories,

Memories of autumn festivities,

Your dreams that seem like destiny,

Old memories come back echoing yesterdays,

Today let me remember you forever this way,

I still wish to record your laughter,

I still want a collection of your happy tears,

You think I'm silly,

But when I don't have you I'll live on memories,

Let me remember you forever this way,

As your hair tangled, no makeup on a wild Sunday,

I'll hold on to this memory time after time, year after year,

I'll hold on to your love to calm my fears
