If I last another day longer than you, you WILL be in my memories. If not, perhaps I'll be in yours.  Blessings all.

As the mornings sun - begins to shine And memories of yesterday - I leave behind I get to see - another rising sun And store more memories - when the day is done Thoughts in my mind- Which I hold true My life - what I've been through All those nights - when I dreamed deep My all-nighter's - I couldn't sleep Remembering thoughts - from new, from old Good times, bad times - I still hold But tomorrow's sun - again will rise I may not see it - with my own eyes For if I don't - and I... not awake I hope the sun - is yours to take To let you dream - into the night Savour memories - see the light That will rise again - with tomorrow's sun And leave you memories - when the day is done Your thoughts in mind - that you hold true Your life - what you've been through But if you don't - your eyes...not awake I hope the sun - is mine to take So that I can remember you - memories I'll keep All those nights - when I dream deep
