Oh how my heart breaks when I think of you.
The way we never got to really say goodbye.
At first I didn’t know you’d even left.
But when I looked for you by my side
There was no one there and I was all alone.
Oh how my heart breaks when I remember you.
The way you’d smile and would light the room.
You would dance and sing as we walked along
In good times and bad, my constant companion,
Yet I didn’t even notice when you had gone.
Oh how my heart breaks when I see you again.
I can almost see you in the face of the moon,
In each vibrant color of the rainbow,
In every beat of a butterfly’s wings,
Or in the bright, innocent eyes of a child.
Oh how my heart breaks when I forget you.
The way you used to hold every dream dear.
You found magic in the winking of every star.
Or is my childhood not lost but still here
Molding me into the adult I’ve become?
