JOYFULLY YOURS

 

I HAVEN'T SEEN YOU FOR A WHILE;

SO I TOOK TIME TODAY.

I MISSED CHATTING WITH YOU,

AND I'D FORGOTTEN YOUR SMILE!

 

I HAVEN'T TALKED TO YOU FOR LONG TIME;

SO I DID THAT TODAY.

I'VE THOUGHT ABOUT YOU OFTEN;

TODAY I TOLD YOU YOU'RE A FRIEND OF MINE!

 

I KNOW NOT IF TOMORROW WILL BE;

SO I TOOK EXTRA TIME TODAY.

TO FIND AN OLD FRIEND;

TO LET THEM KNOW WHAT THEY MEAN TO ME!

 

BEFORE I DRAW MY FINAL BREATH;

I JUST TOOK TIME TODAY.

TO SAY I CARE, I LOVE YOU; YOU'RE SPECIAL;

AND I'LL BE HERE FOR YOU 'TIL DEATH!

 

AND AFTER THAT, I'LL BE IN HEAVEN FAIR;

WHERE I'LL HAVE TIME ALL DAY;

TO FLUTTER WITH THE ANGELS;

AND EVERYONE WILL KNOW EVERYONE CARES!
