A pathway lit with the lamps for the night
Winter's slowly crawling through
Took a deep breath then sighed
As I took off my earphones
I started to cry

As I was playing Beethoven
Something inside died
Someone took my heart
Flashbacks begun to start

I remembered when I played Fur Elise
You slept crying
Trying to hide something
Something you did not want me to know
Hid it deep, deep down below

Ran as fast as I can
Just to catch up to you
But I was late
Now past eight
and I just stood at the door gazin'

You were like an angel
Now dressed in white
Surrounded by flowers and light
Sorry, I haven't seen you in a while
You were as beautiful as the sunset
and grander than the bluebonnet

Walking towards you
Holding my tears back
Heart was heavy
As I glanced at you
One last time

Regrets came rushing
Picked up my phone and ran out
Shouted to the heavens
Cursed at the gods
Bargained to let me see her alive one last time

All you gave me was music
The songs, the meanings, the lyrics
The notes, the keys, the rhythm
Slowly I returned inside
and played your gift

I opened the piano
It was childhood all over again
Played your favorite piece, Love's Sorrow
I saw an image of you

Every stroke it was painful
Every note I was hurting
As memories came flushing
and the song showed me
how it made you smile and cry

I want to dance with you again, Ma
I will play a song and loop it for eternity
I want you to sing for me again
And I'll play the piano for you
I will gladly be

I'll dance for you
Even if my feet does not want me to
I'll write you endless songs
Just be with me one last time
I'll tell you stories
When you can't fall asleep
I'll kiss your forehead, Ma
and I'll tell you I will always be here
and you will be with me

I ended the piece
Like how you always ended your's
and I know you'll be in peace
Because all I saw you smiling
One last time
