I was sitting in my room when I heard the news I came to you
I wasn’t sure that it was true but then I was when I saw you
You were walking in the park, in the rain, in bare feet
I couldn’t tell if they were tears from your eyes or just rain soaked cheeks

You took my arm in your arm we walked along towards the bay
We took a seat on the shore in the sand you started to pray
The rain was soft it felt like silk in my hands and it was real
The bay was calm the raindrops danced while you prayed and it was real

You cried “Lord if this is it, save my soul.”

And that night we counted stars holding hands in the park
Laying down in the grass you almost forgot that life was hard
If this is it, you said to me, then this is where I want to be
This isn’t it, I said to you, I held your hand and wished for you.

I’m constantly amazed by the way you held yourself
And the way you held on to me
I’m constantly amazed by the way you loved your life
And the way that you loved me
