Thank you for being beautiful in my time

That's something real to evaluate all my life

For the taste with which you choose and give your life to

You gave me in the forms of what you're into

You stand above the lifeless shells around me

And fill the emptiness that almost drowns me

As your gift of you and love finds me again (finds me again)

Memories can show us the value of our time spent

If you've no memories, your past has no existence

We only need to live this life with fullness

With days remembered clear that hold their purpose

Devoid of wasting time with those who fake it

But rather find some truth, and not forsake it

That'll come with time that's spent in love with friends (with friends)

My life is better for sharing your richness

And as I go on it calls me now don't you waste this

For we're a part of all that we retain of

The good and bad and how we make the use of

And what we were before becomes extended

In everyone we meet and how we spend it

As it all adds up to what becomes the depth of ourselves
