Beautiful Treasure

Beautiful Treasure
Where have you gone?
Moments spent flew past
Time moves ever on.

Beautiful Treasure
Why couldn't you see?
Your glory and success
Always o'er shadowed me.

Beautiful Treasure
Didn't you understand
The feelings that led me
To call you my friend?

Beautiful Treasure
So hard to explain
My hours of anguish
O'er the choices you made.

Beautiful Treasure
Memories stay bright
Once hope for the future
Yet lost in the night.

Beautiful Treasure
You lost your way
The path you decided
To follow went astray.

Beautiful Treasure
It's too late to change
My heart full of sadness
As flowers I arrange.

Beautiful Treasure
I'll always regret
Not saying everything
I've felt since we met.

Beautiful Treasure
I keep asking why
We have to be parted
In that place past the sky.

Beautiful Treasure
Where have you gone?
Moments spent flew past
Time has moved on.
