Time has a way of taking the pain
And tucking it sweetly away.
Filling our hearts with the gentle thoughts
Of a past that was happy and gay.
Oh yes--time has a way of healing
I do believe this is true,
But time will never erase
All the memories I have of you.
Time has shown me how lonely life can be
Lonely yes--
Because a part of me has died,
The part that was but simple joy
Joy yes---
That was always there,leaves me empty now inside.
Time has taught me something else as well,
No matter where I go
Or what I think or do,
In every thought or movement
I will always cherish the time I had with you.
