Stars & Clouds

[Instrumental Intro]

[Spoken-Word Intro]
Sunlight
Such a beautiful day to say
Goodbye
Goodbye

[Verse 1]
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 realize that you were gone?
I don't know

[Pre-Chorus]
I see you
In him
In voices, faces, expressions

[Chorus]
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

[Verse 2]
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
His 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'd name one after you
As only a child could do
Put you above and not behind him
Until the end of

[Pre-Chorus]
A bright place
Just past the clouds and darkness
Distance

[Chorus]
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

[Interlude]

[Chorus]
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

[Bridge]
(To the lost)
I'd kiss you (heal me God)
Goodnight and say [?]
For you (He is strong)

[Outro]
I was thinking of you beneath the trees
On the side of the hill
Just around the corner from the [?]
I miss you, I miss you
Goodbye
Goodbye
