A bright sunrise will contradict the heavy fog that weighs you down
|
In spite of all the funeral songs, the birds will make their joyful sounds
|
|
You'll wonder why the Earth still moves.
|
You'll wonder how you'll carry on.
|
|
But you'll be okay on that first day when I'm gone
|
|
Dusk will come with fireflies and Whippoorwill and crickets call.
|
And every star will take its place in silvery gown and purple shawl
|
|
You'll lie down in our big bed
|
Dread the dark and dread the dawn.
|
|
But you'll be alright on that first night when I'm gone.
|
|
You will reach for me in vain, you'll be whispering my name
|
As if sorrow were your friend and this world so alien
|
|
But life will call with daffodils and morning glorious blue skies.
|
You'll think of me - some memory, and softly smile to your surprise.
|
|
And even though you love me still, you will know where you belong.
|
|
Just give it time
|
We'll both be fine when I'm gone.
