In the distant chatter
I can hear their laughter
And I remember when we laughed
I remember when you smiled
I remember when I loved it
I remember I still do
I do just when their laughter reminds me of ours
How I long to laugh again
How I long to see your smile
In the midst of it all
I unlock our memories
And my heart fills with laughter
As I smile, I remember
I remember why I smiled with you
I remember why I laughed with you
And I remember why I loved it
You never left at all
Your laughter always remains in me
And your smile is me
You are my laughter
And you are my smile
Until that day comes
I smile on
And my smile lives on
As you smile with me.
