Love is fleeting.

                     I'm glad you came into my life

                     and lingered for a while,

                     I'll always remember an echo

                     and a shadow of your smile.

                     I could not have asked for more my love

                     The day that I met you.

                     I received more than I could ever take

                     And God knows His love is true.

                     He lifted me into a space

                     I never knew before.

                     He says enjoy your best reward

                     For all the hurt you've known.

                     I never knew that memories

                     Could be so good to keep,

                     I always let them go before,

                     So swift they could not repeat.

                     I will still keep you with me

                     The echo of your voice,

                     The shadows of the smiles you gave

                     That made my heart rejoice.

                     You linger on in heart and soul

                     I cannot let you go.

                     You gave me love, you gave me joy

                     I'll keep and call my own.
