Wrapped away so carefully
These treasures of my heart
Drifting back with gentleness
Precious dreams now start

Within this box of treasures
Each sentiment of you
Special times we gathered
Each tribute love so true

Time does pass so slowly
When my heart is blue
I open up these special gifts
You're plainly in my view

See your smile reflected
Captured love confined
Seek just what I'm after
Gathered through lifetime

Just like velvet flowers
That fill the table now
Your heart forever with me
It permeates somehow

Thank you for these memories
The ones I hold so dear
You've given me such beauty
Whenever you appear
