Silent Lantern

Empty coffee cup on the kitchen table

Faded pictures framed in gold

Every corner of this quiet room

(ahhhh) Whispers stories of the days of old I trace the lines

of your favorite sweater Still holding onto your perfume

If love could build a stairway to the stars I'd climb it

right out of this room

I’d trade a lifetime just to have one more day

To hear you laugh,

to hear you say my name The world keeps spinning,

but my heart stays still Caught in the shadow of your memory's

flame I hope you’re resting where the angels fly In a peaceful

heaven far beyond the blue Just wait for me,

my love, across the stars 'Cause one day I will find my

way to you

Sometimes I catch myself turning around

Thinking you’re standing right behind The silence is a heavy kind of

weight Leaving all our tomorrows far behind

They say that time is supposed to heal the pain But missing

you is all I know It’s so hard learning how to live

without The only home I’ve ever known

I’d trade a lifetime just to have one more day To hear

you laugh, to hear you say my name The world keeps spinning,

but my heart stays still Caught in the shadow of your memory's

flame I hope you’re resting where the angels fly In a peaceful

heaven far beyond the blue Just wait for me,

my love, across the stars 'Cause one day I will find my

way

to you

Until that dawn breaks and the shadows part I'll keep your memory

burning in my heart Hold a place for me where the river

bends Where love lives on and never ends

I’d trade a lifetime just to have one more day To hear

you laugh, to hear you say my name The world keeps spinning,

but my heart stays still Caught in the shadow of your memory's

flame I hope you’re resting where the angels fly In a peaceful

heaven far beyond the blue Just wait for me,

my love, across the stars 'Cause one day I will find my

way to you Just wait for me...

I'll see you

in heaven.

Until then,

I'm holding on.
