Friend Promise

Zinnia, we've come so far,

From little dreams to wishing stars.

Every laugh and every mile,

I still live for your sweet smile.

Time may change the world we know,

But there's one thing that won't let go.

In every crowd, through every day,

My heart still finds its way.

When you don't answer,

silence grows, A thousand thoughts that no one knows.

Still I wait, I still believe,

You're the melody I never leave.

Oh, Zinnia, can't you see?

You mean the whole wide world to me.

More than the moon,

more than the sea,

You're every little part of me.

If you smile, my skies turn blue,

If you cry, I hurt with you.

No matter where this life may roam,

My heart will always call you home.

I don't need a perfect day,

Just a chance to hear you say,

"Tell me how you've been,

my friend," I'd listen till the night would end.

Through the years and through the rain,

Joy and loss and little pain,

If you ever need someone,

I'll be there when the day is done.

Maybe love is patient,

maybe love is kind,

Maybe it's the way your name still crosses my mind.

I don't need forever

written in the stars,

Just a place to stay inside your heart.

Oh, Zinnia, don't you know?

You're the reason flowers grow.

Every dream and every song,

With you is where I've belonged.

If tomorrow slips away,

I'd still choose you every day.

Through the seasons, through the years,

I'll hold your smile through all my tears.

Zinnia...

My oldest wish, my sweetest rhyme.

If love could speak,

it'd say your name...

Every single time.
