The Gift of Your Memory

Written By Alex Merritt

Over the moon

Under the stars

I search for what you left me.

Above the treetops

Through the dense forest

I search but still don’t see.

Around the buildings sky high

Across streets a mile wide

Your gift will always be.

Your memory follows me

Like a hand in mine.

Over the moon

Under the stars.

Above the treetops

Through the dense forest.

Around the buildings sky high

Across the streets a mile wide.

Your memory follows me.
