I hope I made you proud Today I put paper to pen Like I've done many times before But it's time, I can't deny The loss that I felt inside So I kept my distance But I'd go back it somehow Your brief existence An emptiness I can't resist A memory's not enough My world has fallen apart And all I have left A smiling face without an embrace I closed my heart and tried and hide From a void I can't describe But in a child's eyes I realized That this empty space can't be replaced I'd fall from grace for your embrace I'm sorry that I stayed away I fall and pray that you'd save me Kissing your grave tracing your name How did my heart become so jaded? Was it the guilt or just remorse? I keep coming back to this It's your smile that I still miss Help me keep my life on course And though your life passed We'll stay together And when I'm laid to rest You'll be my light forever I'd fall from grace for your embrace I'm sorry that I stayed away I'd fall from grace for your embrace I'm sorry that I stayed away I'd fall from grace for your embrace I'm sorry that I stayed away
