May you leave
Just as lovely
As the way you came,
In the warmth of sun
As deep as the sea
And laughing the same.
May you look back
And smile because you know
Nothing was better,
Than the sun on our face
and our splash in the waves
and LOVING to the letter.
The unchanging circumstance
The changes of life
They took their toll,
But may they never change
the way you looked
When you gave your all.
We were beautiful
Were we not?
Fighters of joy and love.
May the battles we fight
not break us any more.
But give us strength from above.
"Why are you lying on your face?"
Pick your heart up off the ground.
Your life is calling
and its a beautiful sound.
There you go, my dear.
There's that spark we've missed.
Now take that step away from me
And don't turn around.
I'll sit here and enjoy your music
And you laughing so hard you cry,
A smile I'll have because I'll know
We never had to say goodbye.
I only had to back away,
and let you live your life.
