Memories In a Locket

You didn't think I saw you
Wishing on a star
Looking to the heavens
Drifting from afar

Hands around a locket
Held close to your chest
Time lost with the moment
For you were truly blessed

Moonlight on the water
Reflections from the sky
Stars that twinkle brightly
As the clouds drift by

Gentle breezes in the air
Your hair danced with the wind
You looked down at the locket
Then looked back up again

I watched you slowly close your eyes
And say a little prayer
Suddenly you were gone
And I was standing there

Hands around a locket
Held close to my chest
Memories of a lifetime
Yes, I'm the one who's blessed
