Within my book of memories
Are special thoughts of you
And all the many nice things
You so often say or do -
And as I turn the pages
And recall each single thought
I realise the happiness
That knowing you has brought.
There are memories of the times we've shared
Both bright and gloomy days -
There are memories of your kindness
And your friendly, thoughtful ways.

There are memories of your laughter
And gay and cheery smile
That add a bright note to each day
And make life more worthwhile,
There are memories of the things we planned,
Each friendly little chat
When we would get together
And just talk of this and that -
And when I recall these memories
As I go along life's way,
I find they grow more precious still
With every passing day.
