Gone Too Soon

I sit alone in the quiet of the night
Her laughter echoes, fading from my sight
A picture frame, a memory in my hand
The love of my life, I can't understand

We built a world, a family of our own
With every heartbeat, our love had grown
She was the sun that lit up every day
Now all that's left is the shadow of her stay

Gone too soon, my heart's torn in two
How do I breathe when the air was you?
The mother of my children, my guiding light
Now I face the darkness of endless night

The kids still ask when you'll be back again
I hold their hands, hiding my own pain
I see your smile in the way they shine
A bittersweet comfort in this heart of mine

The stars above, do they carry your name?
Do they burn with the love only you could claim?
I call out to heaven, but silence remains
A love so pure, now only the ache remains

Gone too soon, my heart's torn in two
How do I breathe when the air was you?
The mother of my children, my guiding light
Now I face the darkness of endless night

I'll keep you alive in the stories we tell
In every small moment, where your memory dwells
Though you're gone, in our hearts you'll stay
The love of my life, forever and always
