I hold a piece of you in every line
A photograph in fading light defined
Your shadow soft it still surrounds
In every silent moment every sound
When time tries to blur what's left behind
I close my eyes and there you shine
This heart keeps you like an endless flame
A trace of you that will never fade
Some say memories are meant to decay
But I guard yours won't let them stray
In laughter tears and quiet sighs
I see you clearer when I close my eyes
When time tries to blur what's left behind
I close my eyes and there you shine
This heart keeps you like an endless flame
A trace of you that will never fade
And if the years pull us further apart
I'll hold your whispers close to my heart
For what is love if not a place
Where even distance holds its grace
So here's to you in shadows cast
In memories that will always last
This heart keeps you come what may
A trace of you forever will stay
