Her Elegy
It takes a lot to carry on
To hold my head up when you're gone
In all I say
In all I do
My life will always echo you
And in the dark
I close my eyes
To hear you sing of bluer skies
The piano sits and stares me down
A statuette without a sound
So I will play and fill the room
With "Danny Boy" and old-time tunes
I'll watch your favorite "black & white"
When I Love Lucy's on tonight
Like wildfire, the colors spread
A patchwork quilt upon Earth's bed
The smell of rain
The cooling air
I breathe it in to know you're there
The rustling of quaking trees
The melody of Autumn Leaves
(voice of Ida Boyd Reid & Dustin Gledhill, 1984)
It takes a lot to carry on
To hold my head up when you're gone
In all I say
In all I do
My life will always echo you
And in the dark
I close my eyes
To hear you sing of bluer skies
To hold my head up when you're gone
In all I say
In all I do
My life will always echo you
And in the dark
I close my eyes
To hear you sing of bluer skies
The piano sits and stares me down
A statuette without a sound
So I will play and fill the room
With "Danny Boy" and old-time tunes
I'll watch your favorite "black & white"
When I Love Lucy's on tonight
Like wildfire, the colors spread
A patchwork quilt upon Earth's bed
The smell of rain
The cooling air
I breathe it in to know you're there
The rustling of quaking trees
The melody of Autumn Leaves
(voice of Ida Boyd Reid & Dustin Gledhill, 1984)
It takes a lot to carry on
To hold my head up when you're gone
In all I say
In all I do
My life will always echo you
And in the dark
I close my eyes
To hear you sing of bluer skies
