I've got a picture of you
I wake to see it everyday
there are tears in my eyes
but a smile on your face
And I will always remember
what it felt like in your arms
the way your eyes would sparkle
with your mischievous charm
My day started with the thought of you
and ended with a dream
it all looked so promising
but just wasn't as it seemed
Oh, I've got a picture of you
I wake to see it everyday
there are tears in my eyes
but a smile on your face
And I just can't forget
that you left me behind
and if I had one wish
time would just rewind
So I could see your smile
embrace my best friend
steal one last kiss
and have you dry my tears again
Oh, I've got a picture of you
I wake to see it everyday
there are tears in my eyes
but a smile on your face
No you never said goodbye to me
But you blew me a kiss
and if I remember anything
it's that I loved you when you lived
Oh, I've got a picture of you
A precious picture of you
A tear-stained picture of you
A cherished picture of you...

I wanted to try to express... how happy and sad I feel remembering Cody. How wonderful I thought he was, and how he's always stayed in my thoughts and my heart even though he's gone...

"No you never said goodbye to me
But you blew me a kiss
and if I remember anything
it's that I loved you when you lived"
Those lyrics are increadibly powerful and very introspective. Lyrics, that seemed it took a world of maturity to come to. What a beautiful work.

A beautifully written testimony to someone who was obviously very important to you. Carry them lightly in your heart, only the shell is broken
