These Times Gone By

Somehow I know after I go, I'll look back on these days gone by
for having you in my heart, I'll laugh, for missing you, I'll cry.

In remembering how you felt on my fingers, the way your voice embraced my ears
how you filled my sleeping hours and dried my eyes of their tears

I work hard to see that you remember my name
how I love you, no one will, the same
all I have done has been for you
all I have been and all I meant to do

I've spent these times in bittersweet sorrow
sipping the sensuality of the honeydew
breathing in the melancolic air

of the things I'll hold dear tomorrow
this special love I had in you
no other in my time will come to compare.

Forgive me for leaving now
but if I were to stay, I'm certain to die
it was my only intent to see you happy
so smile in the memories of these times gone by

and know that you'll always make me laugh and cry.
