Drifting Away

In the presence of a rose Its scent reveals its very essence And lingers even when it's gone A memory kept without pretense And so it is with your perfume That lingers even when you leave the room And fills my soul with thoughts of you A memory kept of hearts so true But now you've left me all alone As the scent of your soul lingers on But through my tears my sorrow's sown As memories in the wind are blown
