Someday the day will come when I can see your name and smile;

I’ll be able to think of the good times we shared;

And how much joy you brought to my life;

Someday I’ll be able to remember your beautiful eyes;

How they sparkled equally in the Bay Area moonlight and in the sun of a beach afternoon;

Without my own filling with tears;

Someday I’ll be able to close my eyes and not see your face;

But

That day

Is not

Today.
