Lasting impressions


Why You

Why were you the silent savior
When I came undone
Why were you my inspiration
When I needed one

How did you become the standard
For the world to beat
How did you create the values
No one's yet to meet

Why's it that I ponder 'bout your
Chosen path in life
Why's it that I wonder if you're
Someone else's wife

What's it matter to me how much
Pain your heart has known
What's the diff'rence knowing how much
More your heart has grown

Why's it after all these years the
Memories endure
Why's it after all this time there's
Still a strong allure

Yes, it's so true! Suppose we'll never cease wondering why...
You expressed this in such a beautiful way!
