Your golden smile always amazes me Like the sun in the sky, bright and free I remember those eyes that show only beauty The way you look at me is sweeter than honey I dream that one day I see you walk down the aisle With your beautiful white dress as long as a mile I’m your proud man as I keep my head up high But as you walk close to me I begin to cry You hold my hands as you’ll never leave me I hold it back thinking of our love and glee The words you utter always sound like an angel They’re music to my ears, I’m even more grateful You vow you’ll stay by my side until the end of time Till death do us part, it sounds almost a rhyme I pray that moment that our feelings are forever true I love you, and you say you love me too Then, more tears slowly touch my cheeks My heart aches for only you it seeks I curl up in bed wondering what I do wrong You leave me without saying a word, so cold like a numb song I wish you told me that you found a better one I wish you told me that our love was a setting sun You break me like a used toy But I can never forget you and our joy I still love you, and I’ve always loved you Your smile, your eyes, your hands, your voice too For that voice of an angel is just now a memory For a lost soul who’s hurt in all eternity |
