I Will Always Remember Your Face

You died without warning we didn’t get to say goodbye
I can’t get you out of my head no matter hard I try
I see the simplest thing and it reminds me of you
It’s hard to handle but for your memory Ill pull through

Your body has gone what you left behind is the only trace
The pieces of your life may be forgotten but I will always remember your face

I keep all the things that made you light up wit glee
And when I saw that joy it brought warmth to me
Even though your death has ripped me apart
I will keep that feeling close to my heart

Your body has gone what you left behind is the only trace
The pieces of your life may be forgotten but I will always remember your face

Your influence on others I see at every turn
A legacy for you and a torch that shall forever burn
I pray I don’t loose your memory, heaven please forbid
I will honor you and live like you once did

Your body has gone what you left behind is the only trace
The pieces of your life may be forgotten but I will always remember your face

A beautiful tribute. It's sad to lose loved ones I'll always. Remember my dad. He died 23 hours after I gave birth to my 3 rd son I never got to say goodbye but his memory remains always.
