I always knew the time would come when we would say 'goodbye'.
It came so soon, my heart is sad, it seems like we just said 'Hi'.

The times we shared now have a place, so special in my heart.
The memories, the laughs and tears, all from the very start.

I care so very much for you, the feelings just won't end.
My love, my life, my husband, my dearest and best friend.

They say it's a beautiful journey from the old world to the new
Someday I'll make that journey which will lead me straight to you

And when we reach that garden in which there is no pain
I'll put my arms around you and we'll never part again

If I listen really close when I am now alone at night
I'll hear your voice comfort me and say that you are alright

It isn't easy to understand why certain things must be
And the reasons why they happen are so often hard to see

But I will find comfort in the knowledge that God is always there
To keep the one I loved so much forever in His care

You gave me many things in life, gifts both great and small
But most of all you gave me love and that's the greatest gift of all


I Will Love You Forever, Patti
