We thought of you in love today, But that is nothing new.
We thought about you yesterday, And days before that too.
We think of you in silence, We often speak your name.
Now, all we have is memories, And your picture in a frame.
Your memory is our keepsake, With which we'll never part.
God has you in his keeping, We have you in our hearts.
