And then I heard those words of a thousand sorrows.
She won't be back again, and I can't follow.
Her voice will fade , but memories sustain.
Don't let the happy memories disappear in vain.
I can still hear your slippers clicking against the floor.
I can still hear you slowly close that door,
behind you and leave us without any fear.
You say God has you near,
and there's nothing left to say.
But we all know you're gone and far away.
You saw me dressed up in all black,
told me I was beautiful..
Those last words you said echo in my heart.
Now the rest of my life is about to start.
I'll grow and learn and you'll be missing.
But you made me promise, so I'll keep going.
Do well in life, and treat your woman right.
Finish school and never lose a fight.
Since then I've fallen and gotten up so many times.
I've filled my head up with so many lies.
So I won't forget the power that  you gave me.
I miss you and love you.
You saved me.
