Your Picture

Every day I wake up to your picture
Open up my eyes and there's still you
In the very corner I first placed you
The very same expression
That lights up all of my roomThough the colors may be somewhat faded
The smile has almost vanished from your face
As you disappear I re-invent you
From my imagination, you'll never be erasedThere is no way to bargain with the future
In the end there are no guarantees... oh no
Even if you're gone I'll always find you
Right here where I left you Smiling back at meEvery star has a season, a moment, a reason to be
We may watch with regret as they flicker then die
But at least for one second we bathed in the light
Of their passing, the memory still lasting
Through the years and the distance your image remains
Like the first day I saw you, you'll never be changed
As a token you left me your pictureEvery day I wake up to your picture
I fashion you a different attitude
Try to visualize the things you're doing
Not in desperation, Just to feel a part of youThere is no way to bargain with the future
What we have in store we can't foresee... oh no
Even if you're gone I'll always find you
Right here where I left you, smiling back at meEvery star has a season, a moment, a reason to be
We may watch with regret as they flicker then die
But at least for one second we bathed in the light
Of their passing, the memory still lasting
Through the years and the distance your image remains
Like the first day I saw you, you'll never be changed
As a token you left me your picture
Smiling back at me
