You were always something special when you smiled
And I’m thankful for the chances I was given
To share in something beautiful that few could ever see
If only I had known how short a time I’d get to savor
That simple, precious gift I had been handed
I know that I’m too soft and sentimental
For the moments and the memories long gone
But so often I find they’re all I have to hold
As little as they were to you they mean the world to me
And though it will likely never grace my vision again
I can always look back on that smile as a moment lost in time
And think of what it meant to me those days
