Lyrics

I heard a final melody
A salve for all the pain and grief
The song has ended, but your voice still lingers…

The air around me rings with silence
Your laughter’s gone, but I can hear
The song has ended, but your voice still lingers…

I hear the echo of you in my ear
You may be far, but I feel you near
You burned with light that shines ever on
And I’ll still love you when you’re gone

You brought the music to our circle
You made the spirit come to life
The song has ended, but your voice still lingers…

I hear the echo of you in my ear
You may be far, but I feel you near
You burned with light that shines ever on
And I’ll still love you when you’re gone

You left a rest that I can’t fill
Though I sing on to keep the tune
I find my strength in all the memories
And all the lyrics left to write
The song has ended, but your voice still lingers…
Lingers…
Lingers…
