The heart does not forget the things
that made it feel so light...
It keeps in loving memory
the smiles, so warm and bright.

The heart does not forget such things
and this is more than true ~
When a heart is filled with memories
such loving thoughts of you.

Don't count the miles between us...
they don't matter much at all...
Just count the many joys we've shared,
the big ones and the small.

Count the thoughts that bring us close...
the memories fond and dear ~
Then the miles that lie between us
...will magically disappear.
