A New Year dawns, an old year end,

But my heart aches and time can’t mend,

The hurt and pain I feel inside,

It’s never left me, since you died.

But life goes on, it’s hard to do,

So in your memory, I smile for you.

For in my hand I keep a list,

Of the times we laughed, and the times we kissed.

So each new day I’ll read aloud,

The memories that make me proud,

Of all the love and hope we knew,

Of special moments, deep and true.

So this new year, I’ll carry on,

For in my heart you have not gone.

Because our love lives in my heart,

It’s proof to me we’re not apart.
