After Dark

I wish I could sing your song one more time 

The one you’d sing along with every night 

Now the words lay alone in your mind

Just in your mind

It was so sudden but I know you’re not blind

And I know you know neither was I

But I hope you know how hard I tried

How long I did truly try

A thousand hands can’t count all the times

That I loved you with all my might

And I wish I could squeeze you so tight

Just one more time

The next time you hear howling at night

And look up to the moon there so bright

Though your heart may feel dark

I hope you can see me in the light

It won’t be just the moon

It’s me there for you

Singing your last lullaby
