By the Water

The talk, the looks; that’s all I have

The water, the sky; those will I save

These will be memories in my heart

As we go apart; By the Water.


The place, the time; was not enough

I still feel, I know, it will be rough

These will be the memories on my mind

As we were one of a kind;By the Water.


The tie, the bond; must have been too much

The words, the love, and that special touch

You will always be close to my heart

Never forgotten by me; By the Water.
