In the Blink of an Eye

The coffee brewed, the rooster crowed,

Another sunrise, same old road.

Life felt heavy, troubles stacked high, But I never dreamed you'd say goodbye.

The porch swing creaked, the screen door slammed,

You were the rock, the steady hand. Now the silence cuts like a knife, In the blink of an eye, it shattered my life.

In the blink of an eye, the world stood still,

A heart so full, now feels the chill. Time won't heal, though they say it might, You were gone, just gone, in the blink of an eye.

Your old boots sit by the backdoor mat,

Your favorite chair, your worn-out hat. Every corner whispers your name, But this house will never feel the < same.

The stars above, they seem to weep, As I pray for you in my restless sleep. Heaven gained, but I've lost my way, Since you left me that ordinary day.

In the blink of an eye, the world stood still,

A heart so full, now feels the chill. Time won't heal, though they say it might, You were gone, just gone, in the blink of an eye.
