Beautiful Memories You left Behind

I opened up a box one day
What treasures did I find!
Letters and some photographs
Of days we left behind
I drifted back to yesterday
The thought was oh, so clear
For just a moment, anyway
It felt like you were here
I smile when I think of you
Sometimes I cry so much
I'm all alone without you now
I crave to feel your touch
But God had other plans for you
An Angel he did find
So now my box of memories
Is all that's left behind
