I can hear your voice in my mind, In a distant memory
And a tear escapes my eye, Your laughter like a melody
Your hypnotizing smile, You used when I was young
I call the memory back, To the day it'd all begun
Your truck fell off a mountain, And crashed far below
Your life was changed forever, But you didn't let it show
You were paralyzed from then on, For two more years
Then one tragic night, From this earth you disappeared
I cried all night, I cried all day
'Cuz your laughter and your smile, Had all gone away
And I'm holding onto this,
This small little wisp,
Of my memory of you,
Please don't fade, Fade away
We were like a packaged box,
That one day opened up
Then you fell out,
And I was left alone
The box was closed back up
But half was gone inside
And my hunger for your presence, Never satisfied
I cried all night, I cried all day
'Cuz your laughter and your smile, Had all gone away
And I'm holding onto this,
This small little wisp,
Of my memory of you,
Please don't fade, Fade away
Though your smiles are gone forever,
And your hands I cannot touch
I will always have sweet memories,
Of the one I love so much
I cried all night, I cried all day
'Cuz your laughter and your smile, Had all gone away
And I'm holding onto this,
This small little wisp
Of my memory of you
Please don't fade, Fade away
