They loved every second as long as they were hand-in-hand.

I Live On

I died but did not leave you.

I am here, and have not gone.

Though my spirit left my body

Don't be sad, for I live on.

My love is all around you.

Can you feel it? Can you see?

That gentle breeze upon your face

Is not the wind…but me.

I’m the sweet song of a bluebird

When spring is in the air.

I'm the roses in a garden.

You can find me everywhere.

Whenever you are missing me

Look up to heaven’s skies.

I'm the twinkle in the stars.

I'm the sunset, and sunrise.

I'm a raindrop and a rainbow.

Im the oceans waves of blue;

So everywhere you go you'll know,

I live on, loving you.
