Happy holiday to the one I love
who all too soon has gone before
Today we celebrate apart
but you're within my heart forevermore
Happy holiday to the one I love
I keep you in my thoughts
So glad your suffering is now past
though your presence I recall.
Happy holiday my very dear one
I know that yours is bright
I pray that God will shine on me
and help me make mine right
Happy holiday to you always
as these days that pass us by
are fleeting, rare, and precious
I will see you again in time
Happy holiday to you and I
now and forevermore
and until the day that I
come to knock on heaven's door -
I will hold your memory tight
and with everything, all my might
I will celebrate your life
my joy, my love, my light
by,
Lisa Lipka, to honor the memory
of those we live without but think of always
