The night after

You snuggled close to me
For a while you stayed
Before the morning sun came
I saw you fade away
You were gone too soon
Like a dream's embrace

The night after you were gone
Echoes lingered till the dawn
In the shadows you were near
Helped me wipe away my tears
Cat footsteps soft in empty halls
Memories upon these walls

Stay with me
Just a little while longer
Goodbye you what's left behind
In my heart your love enshrined
You always guided me through my sorrow
Whispering 'bout a bright tomorrow

Whispered words in the night
Soft and sweet
Echoes in my mind
On repeat
You said goodbye your own way
You left a mark in yesterday
For a moment back together
Felt your touch in the forever

Goodbye You won't fade away
In my dreams you'll always stay
Through the night until the day
In my heart our love won't sway

Memories linger
In the quiet dawn
Wishing you were here
But you're gone
