Goodnight

I looked at your face,

So beautiful

It was almost like you were asleep

Carried you gently all the way back to camp,

Oh, please, blink if someday you would wake

Cried so much, I soaked my pillows

And laid on my bed

Was too young to understand what went wrong,

It seemed like one minute you’re here,

And then the next we say goodbye,

You’re gone

 

Broke down in pieces,

When I saw you lay there

Here you should be,

I’d be admiring your hair

And now I send you back to the sky

The love within you stay with me, by my side

The sky has earned another star to shine bright,

You’ll watch as we shine for you,

And when one day you’ll come home,

And think,

I know that it’s true, I’ve changed the world

In you

 

We danced to Bob Marley,

In your memory

Stevie Nicks playing loud on the radio

Take out the photo album,

And with me it remains

Where I act out the words that we wrote

 

I haven’t been back to camp,

Since you left me

Your memory I cannot erase

I stack the chairs up in my room,

And cry out,

How I wish we could relive those days

 

Torn into pieces,

Your smile is bleeding me dry

But I,

Know the love in your heart’s

Gonna light up the sky

 

So I’ll send you back to the sky,

One final look, 

Before we turn out the light

An angel has forever formed a life in my friend,

Throw me into the dark,

So I may see you tonight,

But before you go home,

Could I have one last hug?

 

Goodnight…
