A tune from a song, a child's laughter bouncing off the wall and I remember the sound of footsteps down the hall A whisper in the wind, a scent floating in the air, I can feel them near even when they're not there I breathe, I sigh, I laugh, I cry, I blink, asking myself why and it's too hard to think but I know this happiness is a lie All these little reminders will never go away, but I'll still try everyday to build back what was lost, cause for them, it's worth the cost

A tune from a song, a child's laughter bouncing off the wall and I remember the sound of footsteps down the hall A whisper in the wind, a scent floating in the air, I can feel them near even when they're not there I breathe, I sigh, I laugh, I cry, I blink, asking myself why and it's too hard to think but I know this happiness is a lie All these little reminders will never go away, but I'll still try everyday to build back what was lost, cause for them, it's worth the cost
