Pictures of You
Pictures of our past, swirl gently within
my conscious mind, some make me grin,
adventures we had, when young and joyous
our loves, our gains, things that did annoy us,
memories connect to our favourite songs
heartache when people have done us wrongs
pleasurable times, wonderful views and sights,
sunrise, sunsets, seem to make things right,
you make the sun shine bright on a dull day,
you are the light that-shows me the way,
You make me feel better when feeling ill,
You are the one I want my heart to fill,
One single red rose bud you gave to me
On that so special day by the willow tree,
sweet aroma of fresh cut meadow grass,
feelings of love we hope would never pass,
country walks getting caught in a storm
no fears you were there to keep me warm,
floating dreamily like a damsel butterfly
in warm summer air, tears of joy in my eye,
you make the sun shine bright on a dull day
you are the light that-shows me the way
you make me feel better when feeling ill,
You are the one I want my heart to fill.
I see you every sunset and every sunrise
You'd turn up unannounced, a lovely surprise,
though now my heart is longing for thee
your so far away, I rely on pictures you see,
pictures of you in colour or black and white
perusing your image every day and night,
a vast ocean parts us now perhaps forever
but no ocean or sea can our memories sever,
you make the sun shine bright on a dull day,
you are the light that-shows me the way,
You make me feel better when feeling ill,
You are the one I want my heart to fill,
