Your Memory Lives On

The sun still rises at the dawn of each day
Birds, they’re flying in the sky as before
The clock still ticks as the hours pass by
How can that be - when you’re no more?

Never again will you walk through my door
Or sit at my table with a cup of tea
I may never hear your laughter again
But in my heart I know, you’re still close to me

The phone still rings and I answer the call
And many a time I think, it could be you
Ringing me up as you so often did
To share all the things you plan to do

You’re still so vivid, so very clear
Before me, in my mind’s eye
Bubbly and cheerful, so full of life
Your presence, I’ll forever hold high

Remember the fun we used to have
In the Irish pub on a girl’s night out
With Grethe, Sheila, Laila and Mette
Oh, all the things we laughed about

You fought hard and brave my dear friend
With courage and optimism you started each day
Positive thinking was always your motto
Negative thoughts, they never came your way

Rest assured dear Hanne, I promise you
You’ll never be forgotten, even when long gone
I’ll cherish the time we had together
And as the years pass by, your memory lives on
