Verse 1

The melody’s a whisper, a bluesy, smoky sigh

A piano weeps, a saxophone cries

The rhythm’s a heartbeat, slow and full of pain

Remembering the warmth, the love, the gentle rain.

Refrain

When parents die, the world shifts on its axis

The ground beneath our feet, it cracks and breaks and fixes

No longer children, though our hearts still ache

For their embrace, the comfort, the love they’d make.

Verse 2

The laughter echoes, a ghost in the empty room

Their voices in the silence, a haunting, bittersweet perfume

The world feels colder, the shadows seem to grow

Their absence like a darkness, a chill that cuts us low.

(Repeat Refrain then Verse 2)

Verse 3

A child inside us, forever young and small

Yearning for their safety, their love, their guiding call

But time has stolen them, their presence now a dream

Leaving us to wander, lost in a world that’s not what it seems.

(Repeat Refrain)

Outro

This Christmas, let the memories be our guide

Hold them close, their love, forever by our side

Spend time with those you cherish, let your love be known

For life is fleeting, and moments quickly flown.

(Repeat Outro)
