precious memories gone bad

at night i would wake
from seeing your face
first i would smile
but then tears i'd have to face

so many memories
once so good and glad
now when i think of them
i am only sad

you were my light
that shined my path
now it has darkened
and there is no light to last

precious memories
once consumed my mind
now they only
make my future blind

i remember how
you told me i would succeed
then why is it now
it is so hard to believe

tears fall from my eyes
as your face appears
i never want it to
but it has to disappear

i feel your heart is breaking
cause nanas alone
my heart is breaking
because i want you home

i remember our fishing trips
and our talks outside
and how close we were
and how our time together flied by

at night when i sleep
i dream of you
but when i wake
i know it wasnt true

memories of us talking
and sitting outside
with your hand on my shoulder
just makes me cry

this is why
i try to forget
but i can not
it just brings me more regret
