Now and then when I see her face, She takes me away to that special place, And if I stared too long, I’d probably break down and cry. These memories bring me joy. When I see her face, I feel better than I ever have before Her face brings me tears of joy and happiness. Please click to continue

Where I would wait for my troubles to pass. Please click to continue
