lyrics

Song for a Loved One

The Sunset fades from your eyes,
There's a quiet light, as day turns into night

That day the sun chose not to shine
The wind blew, the rain kept time
As we sat quiet, lifeless, broken
Nothing uttered, nothing spoken

Your smile, sleek and wise
Brought all your thoughts to life
The brilliance of your mind, bright light, fight
or you'll never be, you will never be here for

Another minute, another day, another year, a birthday cake
Family dinners, holidays, and time keeps moving on
Another mother, another son, father, daughter, another one,
And time just keeps on rolling on and on and on and on...

The suddenness of it all, left us in freefall
Reeling, feeling small

So many things, left unsaid
I just can't wrap my head around you being gone
So long, loved one
You will always be, you will always be with me
