I've been thinking of you lately
A little more than normal
You always cross my mind
With it, brings a tear
I remember the good old days
Just like they were yesterday
Truth is they're getting left in the dark
Harder and harder to hold on
I close my eyes and relive the past
And remember the one thing I can't forget
How I took your love for granted
It gets hard thinking back
Even harder thinking
What might have been
If you never left
You'll never be forgotten
You'll never be replaced
The little ones will never share your love
Never to receive the respect you always gave
You gave love
You gave hope
You gave life
You never asked for anything in return
You didn't ask for the cards you were dealt
But you had no choice but to play them out
They'll never know what was taken
They'll never know
That your love was taken for granted
We have pictures
And a flag in a box
Most of all we have you looking down
Wishing nothing but the best
I know your there and
When that day comes
I know you'll be by my side
For no one can fill your shoes
I know one day I'll see you again
Until then I'll always remember
How I took your love for granted.
