The light you left behind

Verse 1

I was just a little girl, still learning how to stand

You held my world together with your quiet, steady hands

But time can be a thief, and hearts can break too soon

And one day life just carried you beyond the moon

Pre-Chorus

I didn’t understand the tears

Or why you had to go

But in my dreams, you’re holding me

Like you did so long ago

Chorus

Oh, I still hear your voice in the wind through the trees

Feel your love in the sun on my skin, like a breeze

Though I never got to grow up with you by my side

You live in my heart, in the light you left behind

Verse 2

I see you in the morning light, the stillness of the air

In quiet moments, I can feel you everywhere

Mom says you were patient, brave and full of grace

And I see a little piece of you in every step I take

Pre-Chorus

The years keep rolling on and still

I miss you more each one

But I carry you in everything

I’ve become

Chorus

Oh, I still hear your voice in the wind through the trees

Feel your love in the sun on my skin, like a breeze

Though I never got to grow up with you by my side

You live in my heart, in the light you left behind

Bridge

Someday I’ll tell my children

About the man you were

How love can stretch across the stars

And always be assured

Final Chorus

Yes, I still hear your voice in the wind through the trees

Feel your strength when the world brings me down to my knees

Though I never got to grow up with you by my side

You live in my heart, in the light you left behind

Outro

You’re the whisper in my laughter, the calm in the storm

The part of me that knows that I was always adored

Though I said goodbye before I knew how to cry

You’re with me forever — the light you left behind
