In the stillness of the night I close my eyes
And memories of you my daughters arise
At eleven and thirteen you're frozen in time
In my heart forever yours eternally prime
We played games in the evening laughter pure
Stories at bedtime your hearts so sure
No ill words spoken about your mother's name
In my home only love where hearts became the same
Oh memories dear like stars in the night
Shining bright filling me with light
Games we played stories we told
In my heart you'll never grow old
Holidays were magical with joy abound
Videos we made your laughter sound
In my arms you found solace safe and sound
In your laughter my happiness found
At eleven and thirteen you're forever young
In my heart your innocence hung
No matter the years that have passed us by
You remain unchanged in my heart's eye
Oh memories dear like stars in the night
Shining bright filling me with light
Games we played stories we told
In my heart you'll never grow old
Though time moves on and seasons change
In my heart you forever remain
Every laugh every smile every hug we shared
In the tapestry of memories forever bared
So though we're apart you're always near
At eleven and thirteen your laughter I hear
In the echoes of the past I find my solace
In the memories we shared I find my grace
At eleven and thirteen you're still my little girls
In my heart you'll forever twirl
No matter the distance the years that fly
You'll always be with me until the day I die
Oh memories dear like stars in the night
Shining bright filling me with light
Games we played stories we told
In my heart you'll never grow old
