lyrics

TRUE FRIEND

how am I still breathing when you have stopped?
when we are still so connected at the heart
how is the world still spinning without you here?
there’s an empty place without you, my dear

how can this be so when I feel us both still in that love?
I’m so sad to think that I will never hold you or be held by you again
and I’m feeling that loss… I grieve the passing of a true friend

did I tell you enough how much I love you?
did I tell you enough how beautiful you are?
I see your face in my mind so many times and ways
I can hear your voice and the pictures replay

death may be the grand illusion… just part of the show
and you haven’t gone anywhere… I know
still I’m taking this time to feel this finality
part of my life, forever has ceased to be

how can this be? so I still believe in love
I’m just sad to think that I will never hold you or be held by you again
and I’m feeling that loss…I grieve the passing of a true friend

did I tell you enough how much I love you?
did I tell you enough how beautiful you are?
I see you now in my dreams, though the times are few
but in my mind’s eye, I can always find you

but how am I still breathing when you have stopped?

c Linda Worster 1997
