Now I have to remember you for longer than I have known you
We met in the springtime, when the blossoms were new
Little did I know, that you'd leave so soon
Now, without you, I'll have to journey alone
Our love was like the sun, bright and endless
It filled my heart with warmth and happiness
But the storms of life, rough and cruel
Tore us apart, and made our love but a jewel
Now I have to remember you for longer than I have known you
Every moment we shared, every smile that grew
I'll hold them close, like precious treasures
For through them, I feel your love that never measure
The sound of your laughter, your voice in my ear
They still ring clear, though you're no longer here
The touch of your hand, it's warmth and softness
Still linger on, like a fond caress
Now I have to remember you for longer than I have known you
The memories of us, my heart won't let go, it's true
The way you'd look at me, with such tenderness
Made me feel like the luckiest, and blessed
Our walks by the shore, under the stars at night
The way you'd dance with me, under the moonlight
Little things, unknowingly, became so meaningful
Now, they're all I have, but they're so beautiful
Now I have to remember you for longer than I have known you
For as long as I live, those memories will be my glue
They will hold me together, when I feel like falling apart
And comfort me, when great sadness rips my heart
I'll remember you in the rain, when drops fall softly
In the dew on the grass, in the wind that blows sweetly
In the colors of autumn leaves, in the winter's cold
In every sunrise, in every sunset of gold
Now I have to remember you for longer than I have known you
Though you're gone, your love feels like it still anew
I'll keep you alive in my heart, for eternity
And honor your memory, with love and dignity
Goodbye, my love, until we meet again
My heart aches, but I know, you're not in pain
I'll cherish our memories, and hold them close
And when I'm gray, they'll still be my rose
Now I have to remember you for longer than I have known you
And though it hurts, I'll never let go of what's true
For you're etched in my heart, and in my soul
And there, you'll live forever, whole.
