Lyrics
You lit the room up every time There was never laughter quite like yours A silly photo from only you A reassurance so kind so true
A handsome smile and a heavy heart Your humour and taboo played the part It hurts to sing with this awful sense I wish this story had a difference tense
That change, when you stepped back That stage, when you kept your life away
Did you want to leave Did you want to laugh again Did you find your peace I wish you didn’t feel your pain You’re gone, but always in our hearts You’re felt, forever and always
In a time so crass and broken How could this shit ever happen To a soul so gracious as yours To a smile so beautiful
I didn’t think I could write these words I didn’t think that I’d have to try You did so much for everyone Your essence is too much for this earth
You’re never gone
Background
To the kindest, warmest soul. A young man in trouble. Someone who had heart and wit but wouldn’t see anyone excluded. Someone who did so much for so many and me included.
I wish his absence wasn’t final.
