Bittersweet

Every time I think of you
I remember happy times.
Every time I'm feeling blue
I remember your laughing eyes.

And I find myself smiling...
And I find myself crying....

Bittersweet -
is the word that comes to mind
when I think of you
and your laughing eyes.

Bittersweet.
Even though I know
you're still with me
because I feel you
and I still see...
your laughing eyes

Did you know?
Did you know from the beginning...
that I'd love you
like I do?

Did you feel
any sadness knowing how
it would hurt me
missing you?

Bittersweet
joy and sadness
in my tears
when I think of you
and your laughing eyes

Bittersweet
even though I know
you're still with me
because I feel you
and I still see...
your laughing eyes
