We hardly had the time

to know each other more,

We hardly had the chance

to just sit down and talk.

But all these years I knew

that I could count on you.

Just a nod of your head

Or a smile in your eyes will do.

Now that you’re gone,

and that time we had has passed,

All I have are your memories

that will live on and last.

I will look back at the days

when I would sit upon your lap

and you would tell me stories

before I could take a nap.

I will look at the future

when I could see you again.

Then I will hear more of your stories,

and never part from you again.
