I sat there with a smile,
the words didn't sink in, it took a while.
But when I finally realized
that you were gone,
the pain was too much
and I hoped they were wrong.
But their words were true
and never again would I hold you.
Why did you go
and leave this pain,
it hurts me more each day,
that I don't see your face
smiling in the rain.
Couldn't you have stayed,
and been here with me,
to take away my pain,
and be with me
smiling in the rain.

Imagine if I was given one moment,
just a single slice of my past.
I could hold it close forever,
and that moment would always last.

I'd put the moment in a safe,
within my hearts abode.
I could open it when I wanted,
and only I would know the code.

I could choose a time of laughing,
a time of happiness and fun.
I could choose a time that tried me,
through everything I've done.

I sat and thought about what moment,
would always make me smile.
One that would always push me,
to walk that extra mile.

If I'm feeling sad and low,
if I'm struggling with what to do.
I can go and open my little safe,
and watch my moment through.

There are moments I can think of,
that would lift my spirits everytime.
The moments when you picked me up,
when the road was hard to climb.

For me to only pick one moment,
to cherish, save and keep,
Is proving really difficult,
as I've gathered up a heap!

I've dug deep inside my heart,
found the safe and looked inside,
there was room for lots of moments,
in fact hundreds if I tried.

I'm building my own little library,
embedded in my heart,
for all the moments spent with you,
before you had to part.

I can open it up whenever I like,
pick a moment and watch it through,
My little library acts as a promise,
I'll never ever forget you.

The beam shines down,
The rays so bright,
The stars come forward,
At the dead of night.

I feel you close,
You're always here,
The glow of the sun,
You're my star, my dear.

An angel gained,
A distance apart,
Our friendship lives on,
A place in my heart.

I feel you close,
You're always here,
The glow of the sun,
You're my star, my dear.

A loss like this,
Won't heal too soon,
You light the sky,
The sun, the stars, the moon.

I feel you close,
You're always here,
The glow of the sun,
You're my star, my dear.

As I look up at the stars at night,
And think of times we shared,
Memories come flooding back,
They all show how much you cared.

Your kind and gentle nature,
Your smile so big and wide,
Thinking of these things,
I know you're always by my side.

You've been a friend when times were hard,
You've been a friend I can trust,
In my heart you will always stay,
Let God take care of you I must.

In life it's hard to find a friend,
A friend so special and true,
Whenever I think of this friend,
In my heart Teresa I think of you.
