We all held candles the other day Let go of fifty balloons Your mother said things that she wanted to say Some people got choked up And everyone tried hard to age slowly Try again tomorrow And not let this happen again Oh we can't understand it Lest we ever forget I will stand here As a lighthouse Carry on Carry on I wish I could see you another time I wish I could turn things around I wish that my sorrow would lead me to find Another few hours Another few ways to try to age slowly Try again tomorrow And not let this happen again Though we can't understand it Lest we ever forget I will stand here As a lighthouse Carry on Carry on And we don't have to wonder We know we all miss you the most We know we all miss you the most Yeah we know we all miss you the most I put on your sweatshirt the other day Because I was thinking of you I tried to remember what my preacher told me About trying to make every precious moment last And to age slowly Try again tomorrow And not let this happen again Oh though we can't understand it Lest we ever forget I will stand here As a lighthouse Carry on Carry on Carry on Carry on
