Thank you for being beautiful in my time
|
That's something real to evaluate all my life
|
For the taste with which you choose and give your life to
|
You gave me in the forms of what you're into
|
You stand above the lifeless shells around me
|
And fill the emptiness that almost drowns me
|
As your gift of you and love finds me again (finds me again)
|
Memories can show us the value of our time spent
|
If you've no memories, your past has no existence
|
We only need to live this life with fullness
|
With days remembered clear that hold their purpose
|
Devoid of wasting time with those who fake it
|
But rather find some truth, and not forsake it
|
That'll come with time that's spent in love with friends (with friends)
|
My life is better for sharing your richness
|
And as I go on it calls me now don't you waste this
|
For we're a part of all that we retain of
|
The good and bad and how we make the use of
|
And what we were before becomes extended
|
In everyone we meet and how we spend it
|
As it all adds up to what becomes the depth of ourselves
|
