Forever and a Day

Each February brings that special chance, One day a year to say the words of love, Without a love to share the wined romance, Instead I look up to the stars above, While remembering days when we would dance. Those nights I held you close, so close to me, Or held your hand while walking by the shore, Those times we were young and loving free, Yet now each day means that I miss you more, But when I close my eyes you’re all I see. No day goes by without a thought of you, Each morning brings that now familiar ache, And skies never seem to be quite as blue, For you, my heart, I can never forsake, You are my words and ev’rything I do . Each February brings that special chance, One day a year to say the words of love, I have a love to share divine romance, When e’er I look up to the stars above, And remember the time you and I danced.
