Goodbye lullaby

So I'll sing you a goodbye, lullaby

Soft enough to hold you tight

A melody to chase the shadows

When the dark overwhelms your life

And if you wake with teary eyes

Just remember love doesn't say goodbye

It's colder now than last December

The fire's low, the shadows climb

I tuck your blanket up around you

Safe and warm till morning time

The porch light hums like it's still hoping

For footsteps we won't hear again

And silence starts to sound like stories

That we missed back then

They don't see what you remember

Only measure how you've grown

But he's there in every whisper

Even when you're all alone

So I'll sing you a goodbye, lullaby

Soft enough to hold you tight

A melody to chase the shadows

When the dark overwhelms your light

And if you wake with teary eyes

Just remember love doesn't say goodbye.
