" The Loss"
(Lyrics By Gerald Logan)
( Verse 1 )
I still remember that summer night,
You walked in and changed my life.
A smile that lit the darkest room,
I knew right then my heart was doomed.
We danced beneath the small-town lights,
I held your hand, it felt so right.
( Chorus )
But now I count the loss, the silence in between these four broken walls,
The laughter’s gone, just echoes of your voice carry on.
I close my eyes and see your face,
But reach for you in empty space.
Oh, the cost of love so true
The loss of life without you.
( Verse 2 )
We built a home, raised kids with care,
Watched them grow, put memories there.
I worked the factories, you kept us strong,
Through the years, we carried on.
Hand in hand, we faced the storms,
Our love was fire that kept us warm.
( Chorus )
But now I count the loss, the silence in between these four broken walls,
The laughter’s gone, just echoes of your voice carry on.
I close my eyes and see your face,
But reach for you in empty space.
Oh, the cost of love so true
The loss of life without you.
( Bridge )
I sit alone in our old chair,
Pretend sometimes that you are there.
Whisper your name into the night,
Pray one day I’ll see your light.
( Verse 3 )
The day you left, I held your hand,
I didn’t want to understand.
Your final breath, your gentle smile,
I’ll carry that my whole life’s mile.
( Chorus )
Now I count the loss, the silence in between these four broken walls,
The pictures tell the story, but your voice still calls.
I dream of heaven, your gentle face,
Until I’m called to that sacred place.
Oh, the cost of love so true
The loss of life without you.
( Outro )
So I’ll walk on with a broken heart,
Until the day we’re not apart.
Love never dies, it only waits
I’ll see you at the pearly gates.
And till that day, I’ll face it all,
Living with silence between
these four broken walls
As I still count the cost,
And struggle with your loss
