Everyday 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 room.



Though the colors maybe somewhat faded,

The smile has almost vanished from your face.

As you disappear I reinvent you,

From my imagination

You’ll never be erased.



There’s 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 me.



Every 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.



Every 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 you.



There’s 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 me.



Every 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.
