[Intro]
Memories of childhood days, shadows whisper soft and low
A silent prayer I whisper now, hoping you’ll somehow know
[Verse 1]
We were young and fearless then, hearts wild and free
Running through those old backyards, just you and me
Your brother’s words, they cut so deep, I never understood
Why you were distant, beyond my reach, misunderstood
[Pre-Chorus]
Autumn leaves are falling, I wish I’d told you how I felt
Time’s a thief, and now I’m here, my heart begins to melt
[Chorus]
I knew you when we were kids, your laugh was like a song
Now I’m holding on to hope, where you’ve gone so long
Passing pain, a heavy load, but I pray and see
Up in heaven, someday soon, you’ll come back to me
[Bridge]
Blakeley, my angel, your strength is shining bright
Help her stay strong, hold her close through the night
Mom, Dad, and you, together, in a peaceful place
Waiting for the day I see your sweet face
[Outro]
Until then, I carry memories deep inside
With love eternal, across the divide
Seeing you again, where fears are none
Till then, I hope, my beloved one, till then
