We do not need a special day to bring you to our minds
The days we do not think of you are very hard to find
Each morning when we awake we know that you are gone
No one knows the heartache as we try to carry on
Our hearts still ache with sadness and secret tears still flow
What it meant to lose you no one will ever know
Our thoughts are always with you, your place no one can fill
In life we loved you dearly; in death we love you still
There will always be heartache and often a silent tear
But always precious memories of the days when you were here
If tears could make a river and heartache make a lake
We could fill an ocean with tears all for your sake
We hold you close within our hearts and there you will remain
To walk with us throughout our lives until we meet again
