You came into my life like a burning flame. That was your true ticket to fame. Yet your flame has burned out. It seems as if only I was to pout. Others have found ways to carry on. But in my heart I still hold your song. You were so early to be taken away. It hurt so much I can't even say. But even though we have parted, you're still close to me. Yet all my pain others can't see. You're the first person I've lost, but I know you won't be the last. I know I should put these feelings in the past. It's been years now since I've seen your face. And my sad feelings move at such a deadly pace. But every time I look up to the stars, I know exactly where you are. You're in my heart. At least that's a start. The birds, the bees, the flowers the trees. They all remind me. You watch over me day and night. But I'm forlorn 'cause you're always out of sight. I know you hear my prayers. And my burdens you help bear. I never could say a decent good bye. I never will know why. I guess because I still can't think of you as gone. Maybe that's how I cope with carrying on. I guess you could say my feet were never on the ground. But the thought of your voice would be a beautiful sound. I still have the rose from your funeral of long ago. Yet when people say you're gone, I say it isn't so. My mind if full with thoughts of you. But the memories I have are of a very few. Now comes the time when I must let go. And it pains me so. But I know you're in a better land. And now I think I understand. That God choose to take you by the hand. And even though that part I can not stand. I know you're better off in the promise land. |
