about

This is a song I wrote for my parents, who passed away suddenly in October 2011. Two of my extremely musically talented friends helped make this piece possible; from the bottom of my heart, I thank you both.

lyrics

I had a dream
You were here
And then
I woke up
Turned around
I never thought this would happen to me
Still waiting to wake up from this nightmare
Doesn’t seem real, doesn’t feel right
In a world with so many people
Why does it have to be my life?
Absorbing what’s happened
These feelings, so tragic
Can’t help but want to run away
The things I’d say if I could go back
I have to accept the things I cannot change
Why is time so unfair?
No pause for healing, it’s the
Hardest part of dealing with the truth
It may set you free
But it means I’ve accepted
Losing you
I’ve accepted losing you
Reality hits you faster than you think
Time runs out before you can even realize
That time’s just passed you by
The more you love the more you lose
But they can’t take away my memories
Of being with you
Not a day goes by
You don’t cross my mind
And I know you’re here with me
I know you’re here
You’re here
Life throws things at you every day
But it’s what you do after that makes you say
I am strong, I am happy and I’m letting go
Of all the pain and hurt that no longer shows,
Yes, I have grown
And I know you’re proud of me
And I will always be with you
With you
I will always be with you
And I can’t wait
For the day my
Dream comes true
