The Bracelet You Gave Me
I keep it resting on my wrist
A little silver memory I can’t resist The clasp is loose,
the color’s faded
But every mark is something we created You tied it on beneath
the summer sky Said,
“Keep it close whenever we’re apart”
I laughed and called it just a simple thing
But I didn’t know
how much it’d mean
Now every time it catches light I’m back with you beneath the
stars that night
The bracelet you gave me still holds on
Even though the days keep moving on
Every little charm, every thread
Carries all the words we never said
When I’m lost, it leads me through
Like a quiet little piece of you
I may be far,
but I can’t forget
The bracelet you gave me
yet
We used to count the beads like passing days Making promises
we thought would never change You said forever sounded easy then
Before forever learned to bend Now your side of town feels miles
away
And I still wear it every day
Some things break, and some things stay
This one keeps me from fading away
And when the evening turns to blue I feel the past come
shining through
The bracelet you gave me still holds on
Even though the days keep moving on
Every little charm, every thread
Carries all the words we never said
When I’m lost, it leads me through
Like a quiet little piece of you
You may be far,
but I can’t forget
The bracelet you gave me yet
Maybe love was always meant to last
Maybe we were never meant to be the past
But I’ll keep this promise on my skin
A reminder of where we’ve been And if you ever see it
shining in the sun Know that I still smile at what we
are Not because I’m waiting for the same But because you changed
my life in a beautiful way
The bracelet you gave me still holds on
Like a little echo of our song
Every little charm, every thread
Keeps alive the moments in my head When I’m lost,
it leads me through
Like a quiet little piece of you
Though the years may bring regret
I’ll keep the bracelet you gave me yet
The clasp is loose,
the color’s faded But I still wear the love we made in
it
And wherever life may take me
next
I’ll remember the bracelet you gave me
yet
