Another song about loss. For those who have lost loved ones they were never given the chance to meet. Using DMB nomenclature, this is the 32nd song I ever wrote.
lyrics
No one said love would be easy
I'll hold you tight if you want me to
Close your eyes you feel lonely
But your family is all right here
You try so hard to capture
Another beam of the light you share
But look deep into his eyes
Take that feeling and run with it
It flew in through the window, Fluttered past the door
Though its beak was empty, You still need more
It flew in through the window, Fluttered past the door
Though its beak was empty, You'll pray some more
I want to tell you both that I love you
Feel the warmth of my broken heart
The strength of people around you
Will bring forth the love that's there
But you've got someone who's special
Wrap your arms around him now
And as his small lips curl upward, May your spirits fly as high
It flew in through the window, Fluttered past the door
Though its beak was empty, You still need more
It flew in through the window, Fluttered past the door
Though its beak was empty, You'll pray some more
It flew in through the window, Fluttered past the door
Though its beak was empty, You still need more
It flew in through the window, Fluttered past the door
Though its beak was empty, You'll pray some more
