It's so long ago
Many seasons past
That first I saw your face
Joyful it seemed to me
But underneath were scars
Many secrets were hidden
Beneath those smiling eyes
Voice made of velvet
That melded into my soul
It didn't tremble then
But tales of horror
Began to make it quiver
As a life began to unfold
So composed and beautiful
So strong you had become
But hiding in a scary place
Hidden deep within
Memories that crushed
Those smiling eyes
The velvet voice
No one knows the depth of pain
The quite screams for help
A painful past borne alone
A price was paid for you so brave
But worth all the cost
To have known you was a gift
Shared joyous life so long
Smiling eyes and velvet voice
Just echoes in my soul
