By the fireplace we sit each night,
With albums ______ and frayed,
I hold your hand, so cold and light,
As memories start to fade.
Your eyes, they wander, ______ in time,
Where once they saw our love,
Now ______ within a maze so blind,
But still, I won’t ______ up.
Though the years have worn us down,
And ______ mind’s a distant shore,
I’ll hold on to the ______ we found,
Even if you remember no more.
I’ll ______ the keeper of our days,
In every photo, every song,
Though your mind may drift away,
My heart will ______ you strong.
Your voice, a whisper, barely there,
Of ______ when you were my guide,
Now I’m the one ______ has to care,
Through every storm, every tide.
These hands, so weak, with every touch,
Try to turn back ______ years,
But how can love be held so much,
______ faced with endless tears?
I see the man you ______ to be,
In every faded frame,
A pillar, rock, ______ sanctuary,
Before it all became a game.
With every ______ I cannot twist,
Every step that brings me pain,
______ fight against the cruel mist,
That tries to take ______ away again.
One day soon, I know we’ll part,
______ I’ll have to let you go,
But I’ll carry ______ within my heart,
Where our love will always grow.
______ here’s to us, my darling dear,
In every tear, ______ every sigh,
For though you fade, I’ll keep you near,
Our love will never die.
