Alex Wons - Live On Lyrics

She said "Your eyelids opened wide
And I knew that you were mine
You took a breath
For the first time
You have your mother's eyes
And you have your father's smile
They live in you
They breathe in you"
You had your whole life ahead of you
You had the whole world right in your view
If only you could have stayed that way
If only time hadn't numbered your days
But she said "Daughter don't you cry
'Cause you know one day I'll die
But that's okay
Don't mourn at my grave
It's just the way the circle of life
Takes its course in time, I'm never gone
'Cause I live on
Yeah I'll live on through the summer breeze
The bunnies hopping, the growing trees
And I'll live on in the butterflies
In every raindrop that falls from the sky"
The one who you gave life
Is standing next to your bedside
The walls are gray
Your smile fades
One day I promise you
Will be free from hospital rooms
Away from home
At least I hope
The sun is setting on your time left
You may have already seen your best
Your loved ones wanted to say goodbye
I'm sorry they couldn't make it in time
But she said "Daughter don't you cry
'Cause you know one day I'll die
But that's okay
Don't mourn at my grave
It's just the way the circle of life
Takes its course in time, I'm never gone
'Cause I live on
Yeah I'll live on through your every dream
In every note of the songs you sing
And I'll live on with the birds up high
The clock that ticks all throughout the night"
You slowly closed your eyes
And I held you very tight
You took a breath
One last time
You gave me your eyes
And you gave her your smile
Your story is full
God gained an angel
Oh did you have to go?
We're falling apart without you
Oh did you have to go?
Why did it have to end so soon?
Oh did you have to go?
We're falling apart without you
Oh did you have to go?
Why did it have to end so soon?
"Daughter don't you cry
It will be alright
'Cause I love you
We'll meet again soon"
I look up into the stars at night
And there's a new one it's shining bright
Oh I can tell it's you 'cause it shines
The same color blue as your eyes
We're falling apart without you
And from the sky, I can still hear you whisper
"Daughter don't you cry, no one
Knew when I would die
And that's okay
Don't mourn at my grave
It's just the way the circle of life
Keeps my soul alive
I live in you
I breathe in you
Oh I'll live on with each step you take (Daughter don't you cry) (We're falling apart without you)
And I'll live on with what nature makes (It will be alright)
My soul lives on in you every day ('Cause I love you)
And I live on as an eternal flame (We'll meet again soon) (Why did it have to end so soon?)"
We're falling apart without you
Oh I love you, we'll meet again soon
