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
