Stillwater


As the tears roll down My face I start to wonder Who will take my place If it's no longer me To say goodnight to Who will you hold Who will you call boo My heart aches It feels a little broken I've been here before Things left unspoken I was so excited For this new love But you had other plans Sent from above I won't ever Be angry over this But it's hard not to grieve You will be missed I'll miss your hugs and your kisses And your gentle touches too I'll miss everything I'll miss you I've made a pool From the water of my eyes Swimming amongst the sadness Is no great surprise She's familiar to me Since forever ago She's the calm after the storm She is not a foe I embrace her a little Holding her close Letting her know She's not a ghost I see her pain I feel it in the air "You are loved" Said so clear He may not want you And that's okay 'Cause you have a father That doesn't go away God is love So pure, so true God is everything God is with you
