If I Remember You
If I feel your heavenly touch in the flutter of a swan
You will know that my passion for you has never been withdrawn
If I see your sweet face in the blue sea we traveled upon
Such magic will just come in the most colorful hues of dawn
If I feel the spray of waves when I climb out on the jetty
I’ll sense the passion of your kiss when all cares did seem petty
If I wade into the sea, I’ll remember our last Christmas
The wading boots I bought you to fish filled you with so much bliss
If I leave footprints in the sand, I’ll recall days at the beach
When the warm, bright rays of a summer sun caused our hair to bleach
If I hear your gentle voice in limbs rustling through the forest
I’ll remember hearing you say, “Nature’s the premier florist”
If my eyes fill with tears as I recall your great loyalty
I’ll remember your strong intelligence; you seemed like royalty
If I sense your presence accompanying me as I walk
I’ll miss the sound of your deep voice and recall each time we’d talk
If our song is played on the radio, I’ll miss you even more
“Without You” by Nilsson recalls the sad day life shut the door
And if I meet you again in the blessings of afterlife
I’ll see your sterling-blue eyes and hear words that made me your wife
