Texty: Stavesacre. Stars And Clouds.

Sunlight
Such a beautiful day to say
Goodbye

We try to look our best thinking of you
How can I pretend when inside
None of this seems right, the timing isn't mine
There were things we needed to make right

Was so long, I never dreamed that I would see the end
That we wouldn't make amends, come short of reconciling
Still memories remind me he was so calm still and quiet
Precious and powerless but somehow strong

He carried on
Did he realize that you were gone?
I don't know, I see you in him
In voices, faces, expressions

As long as I may stay
I will pray the same
To live a life like a child
And never to forget what I know loving is

To hear him speaking of you
He knew exactly what was happening
Said you were born today
His favorite person in the world

He's different, a breeze of fresh air
Laced with a touch of somewhere familiar
He's tomorrow, he's starting over
He's treasure and survival

Walk the beach with him, talk the day away
And when the sun winds down
And the stars come out he could name one after you
As only a child could do

Put you above, not behind him
Till the end, a bright place
Past the clouds and darkness, distance
