One Last Time

I still hear your laughter echo through the halls

Feel your shadow dancing on these empty walls

Your favorite chair still waits, but you’re not there

And I can’t help but wonder if you’re somewhere.

The world keeps turning, but my heart stands still

How do I move on, when I never will?

If I could hold you, just one last time

Tell you I love you, erase the goodbye

I’d give it all for one more day

To feel your warmth and hear you say

“I’m here, it’s alright, you’ll be okay.”

I found your old sweater, it still smells like home

And in the quiet, I don’t feel alone

The memories we made, they light my way

But oh, I’d trade them all to have you stay.

The stars seem colder, the nights too long

Without your voice, I don’t feel strong.

If I could hold you, just one last time

Tell you I love you, erase the goodbye

I’d give it all for one more day

To feel your warmth and hear you say

“I’m here, it’s alright, you’ll be okay.”

Do you see me from up above?

Do you still feel my endless love?

I talk to the sky, but it doesn’t reply

And I whisper your name, just to survive.

If I could hold you, just one last time

Tell you I love you, erase the goodbye

I’d give it all for one more day

To feel your warmth and hear you say

“I’m here, it’s alright, you’ll be okay.”

Someday we’ll meet where the light never dies

In a place where the tears will leave our eyes

Until that day, I’ll carry your flame

And live for the love that still remains.
