Sweet memories in a shoebox
Things you made with care
Painted pictures - Little pieces
Of the love we used to share
Pretty words and love letters
Things you whispered to me
Loving promises - Lasting visions
Of the man you used to be
All the light, all the love
All the once beautiful things
All the smiles, all the joy
All the sun they used to bring
It's all in the past
You've gone from me
It feels like you're dead to me
Unopened gifts and dead flowers
Things I wanted to give to you
Faded pictures - Silent reminders
Of the life that I once knew
Crumpled papers on the floor
Things you never did receive
Broken promises - Nothing remains
Of the dreams I once believed
All the hurt, all the ache
All the now painful things
All the regret, all the tears
All the sorrow they now bring
It's in the past
You've gone from me
It feels like you're dead to me
Ashes to ashes
Dust to dust
You've gone from me
It feels like you're dead to me
