For Jane

There'll be laughter even after, you're gone.
I'll find reasons to face that empty dawn.
'Cause I've memorised,
each line in your face,
And not even death,
can ever erase,
the stories they tell to me.

I'll miss you.
Oh, how I'll miss you.
I'll dream of you,
And I'll cry a million tears.
But the sorrow will pass.
And the one thing that will last,
Is the love that you've given to me.

There'll be laughter even after, you're gone.
I'll find reasons and I'll face that empty dawn.
'Cause I've memorised,
each line in your face,
And not even death,
could ever erase,
the stories they tell to me.
