As I often think about you
a certain sadness fills my mind
for I've known the best of teachers
who is good and wise and kind

As I often think about you
I'm thankful every single day
I had the chance to love and serve you
you've touched my life in countless ways

As I often think about you
I try to smile through the tears
and recall your words and feel the hugs
that have calmed and silenced fears

As I often think about you
I wonder why I've been so blessed
that you would care enough about me
to encourage change in me that's best

As I often think about you
I see a debt that can't be paid
more than just love you gave yourself
there's no greater gift you could have made

As I often think about you
the tears just start to flow
for a man much like the Savior
I've grown to love and come to know
