Most Precious Treasure

Long before we each said goodbye
All our fights would make hate appear
I don't know why those are the days I hold dear

You taught me how to be so fearless;
Always pushing me further each day
Saying, "You can overcome it all
And find happiness along the way if you try"

I'll go on alone with the pain
And I swear that I won't complain
'Cause I'll have the dream you gave me
To keep me strong just how I should be

You were once what made me happy
What I once had called my everything
But it faded and I could see
Being with you was all just a dream

I once thought we always would be
And never cross the finish line
But I knew that was just a wish of mine

I don't regret being born any longer
I have learned to cherish life
'Cause you gave me all you had and more
Though we now move on our separate ways without strife

I'll go on alone with the pain
And I swear that I won't complain
'Cause I'll have the dream you gave me
To keep me strong just how I should be

Even if I am far from you
When there's more than distance between us
I will pick myself up once more
With the strength I have thanks to you

I'll go on alone with the pain
Though I want to die, I'll restrain

It's your voice that I can still hear
Like a light that will not disappear
Even if it's hard to move on
Even if I cannot stop my tears
My heart is warm because of you
And I'll hold that dear for all my years

Our time came and went by so fast
I now look back and make it last
I cannot recall what broke us
Into pieces like inside my heart

If I close my eyes I can hear
Someone laughing long ago with me
To this day I've held that right here
'Cause you're still my most precious treasure

Still, I hear
I hear
Always hear
You're still my most precious treasure
