VERSE [WINTER]

I remember days with you; I will never forget winter days

I spent cutting wood, you always came out to bless the trees

And thank God for its life, you made me do the same

If it was too cold at night, we would use wood to heat our home and cook our dinner

Your Dutch Oven and skillet would give smells of delight

Whether it was for breakfast or dinner, at night we would cuddle by the fire

Get our pillows and blankets, and stay warm by the fire, we would hold each other all night long

CHORUS

The best things in life are free, your friendship, love, and your devotion

Each day was a blessing, each day was a gift, God sent you to me

But time changes, it comes and goes, I long for the times with you

It is so hard without you, but time goes on; we will be together soon

 VERSE [SPRING]

Spring would bloom, the grass would grow, the days became longer

We spent endless days in the fields picking wildflowers and walking

Through the hay fields, we would search for the creeks nearby, you loved to look for rocks

Whether they be turquoise or sapphire, they were in no comparison to the beauty of your soul

At night we would sit out and watch the stars that were so bright

The fireflies were like fireworks in the fields; the kids would gather them up

In jars and keep them as their own

CHORUS

The best things in life are free, your friendship, love, and your devotion

Each day was a blessing, each day was a gift, God sent you to me

But time changes, it comes and goes, I long for the times with you

It is so hard without you, but time goes on; we will be together soon

VERSE [SUMMER]

Summertime came and the days were long; your garden grew you had

The gift of nature, the gift of life; no matter what you grew; it grew with abundance

Just as your love for us, we would sit at night and listen to music under the stars

It was our way of worship; it was our church.

We would travel to the parks and swim in the creeks and waterfalls

The water was cold, but your love and passion kept us warm; at dusk we cooked our dinner

Outside and ate under the stars, there was a sense of purity in the night that couldn’t be explained

At night we slept with the windows open, the summer breeze blowing in the sound of crickets

In the distance with you holding me all night long

CHORUS

The best things in life are free, your friendship, love, and your devotion

Each day was a blessing, each day was a gift, God sent you to me

But time changes, it comes and goes, I long for the times with you

It is so hard without you, but time goes on; we will be together soon

VERSE [AUTUMN]

The nights grew cold; the leaves would change; the fruits of your labor abound

And filled the house; just as your love for us always was

We would walk the creeks, paths, and gorges and spectacle at the beauty.

Of the Fall colors, but none was as the beauty in you. Your warm dinners would fill us

With strength as we stacked wood and prepared for the cold, but your love kept us warm throughout the days

Our Thanksgiving was a day of thanks; you praised God in all you did; the holidays were your best

Your heart was so giving; you always made sure we came first.

You loved us so much, I miss you more as each day goes by.

REFRAIN

The best things in life are free, your friendship, love and devotion

Each day was a blessing, each day was a gift, God sent you to me

I thank him everyday for you in my life.

I will miss you forever, we will be together soon.
