Time is slipping through my hand's
Like sand that I can't hold
Each day brings a smaller piece
Of the stories she once told
I see her fading bit by bit
A shadow in the light
And though I'm here I feel the loss
Of all she's left behind
But in her laughter I still find her
In the quiet she's still near
Though the world keeps changing around us
She's still here she's still here
I sit beside her every day
Two visits, maybe more
Singing songs she used to love
While she jokes I should keep my chores
And even though the pain runs deep
Her humor breaks the gloom
A little spark of who she is
Still lights up the room
Because in her laughter I still find her
In the quiet she's still near
Though the world keeps changing around us
She's still here she's still here
Could I do more The question haunts me
A guilt that love can't erase
But in her eyes I see forgiveness
And in her smile a sacred grace
The grief, it comes in waves so strong
But healing finds its way
In fleeting moments where she shines,
The clouds begin to break
I hold her hand I sing her songs
And though the years feel short
Every joke every laugh every tear
Is love I'll never forget
Because in her laughter I still find her
In the quiet she's still near
Though the world keeps changing around us
She's still here she's still here
