I Shall Remember

As long as I have life to hold... In moments bright or
blue... I shall remember every dream... I ever shared
with you... I shall remember all you did... To please
and comfort me... And how you were the pattern for...
Each golden memory... When I go walking or I stand
... Before the fireplace... I shall recall how sweet it was
... To kiss your loving face... To hold your gentle hand
in mine... And gaze into your eyes... And hear you
whisper secrets for... My heart to memorize... I shall
remember how we dreamed... And waited for each dawn
... Until I touched a shadow and... I knew that you
were gone.
