Sunlight - such a beautiful day to say goodbye,
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 I needed to make right,
For 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's so calm, still and quiet,
Precious and powerless, but somehow strong,
He carried on,
Did he realise that you were gone'
I don't know, but 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 favourite person in the world,
He's different,
A breeze of fresh air laced with a touch of somewhere familiar,
He's tomorrow, he's treasure and survival,
I 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 until the end,
A bright place just past the clouds and darkness, distance.

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.

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.

I'd kiss him goodnight for you.

He's thinking of you, beneath the trees on the side of the hill, just around the corner from here,
We miss you, we miss you,
Goodbye, goodbye.
