The Brightest Of Souls

Verse 1
Forty-nine years was a cruel place to stop.
The clock kept on ticking, but our world just dropped.
March third arrived with a winter so cold.
Taking the hand that I wanted to hold.
Verse 2
The cancer was quiet, it stole from your mind.
The brightest of souls that you left far behind.
A grandmother’s love cut away at the start.
Leaving an ocean of ache in my heart.
Chorus
The more that I speak your name,
The more I get trapped in pain.
Cause grief is a kind of heavy, heavy,
No one should have to carry, carry.
I'm spilling my soul to the sky up above.
Drowning in memories, drowning in love.
But you were the kind of beautiful, beautiful,
I’ll always carry, carry.
Verse 3
I look at your pictures from 2023.
Stuck in the shadow of who we used to be.
Bleeding out, biting on my tongue through the tears.
Missing your voice for the rest of my years.
Outro
The seasons will change and the years will go by,
But love remains under the wide, open sky.
Though March brought a silence that’s heavy and deep,
There are promises made and memories to keep.
