That book you gave me…
I still have it, you know
With the bookmark and all
Every night I read it
And it puts me to sleep
The memories of you and me
Are always so close then
But now we are so far apart
Do you even remember me?
It was so long ago…
When you finally disappeared
If you were still here,
Things would have changed
I think I would be happier
Because I’d hold on to you
And I wouldn’t let you go
That book you gave me…
I keep it with me always, you know
I bring it to school and on vacations
Somehow, it always lifts my spirits
And I think it’s because
It reminds me of the one I’ve always loved
And always will love
Even though you are gone
