This song is an original written for piano, the lyrics came to me after watching a band perform on America’s Got Talent recently. From there, I added what I hope is an emotional melody, for anyone going through a loss of a loved one. I lost someone special to me last year and I almost lost someone else close to me even more recently. It is one of the hardest things to go through and I find music can help the grief and start a little healing. Music is my therapy.

Lyrics for this original song:

VERSE 1:
They say life is no more than a blink of an eye
That there is nothing stranger than time
An hour can take days, while years take minutes
And I wish I had more life with you in it

CHORUS:
I don’t want to have to let you go
So hold onto me on this endless road
‘Cause I don’t want to have to fill your shoes
And I don’t ever want to have to lose you
To the universe, somewhere in the universe

VERSE 2:
They say life’s a bullet that’s been shot
And they say that gunpowder is all that you’ve got
So I hold onto the dust until it disappears
‘Cause I don’t like the cold of these unfamiliar tears

BRIDGE:
Can you hear my cry?
I will never understand why
But you will fill in the light of the stars
And I’ll keep you in my heart as you are
