A Day Death Can't Take Away
I'll put a photograph in my heart
And lock it away
So that even in old age, and grey
It won't wither away
Even the loss of sight
Won't make me afraid
Of losing that image
In my heart, locked away
If my brain decides to shred
Every memory I have, including today
I won't worry
It's safe, in my heart, locked away
No man, job, institution, or life's trifles
No matter the suffering, I'll smile
For what’s dearest to me, I'll never give away
It's safe in my heart, locked away
Even death, I'll bargain one plea
Before I leave, just for a second, that's all I'll need
That photograph I've kept in my heart locked away
Is a Photo of you.
Us, this day and occasion
"I do's and love you too's"
Tears, I wish to remember
One day, standing with an angel
A kiss, I'll forever savor
A skipping second, from memories worn
I put it back in my heart
So this day is never gone.
