Lessens The Hurt
By Amy Mantis (music and lyrics)
Lyrics:
I've never been here before
Knowing you'll no longer walk through the door
And I hear your voice calling my name
"Hush now, Sweetheart. I'm not in pain."
Before you faded from view
The last thing you said to me - "I love you too"
And I let your words become my light
Guiding my way through the darkest of nights
You told me I'd miss you when I was fifteen
Eighteen years later I know what you mean
We used to race up the stairs
You let me win, you didn't care
I'd call you out, you would deny
It's funny now how you thought you were sly
You told me I'd miss you when I was fifteen
Eighteen years later I know what you mean
Dad, you were right as you so often were
I feel your loss but this lessens the hurt
And I don't have to look far to find you
I know I'm never alone
The last thing you said to me - "I love you, too"
Your words they live in my bones
You told me I'd miss you when I was fifteen
Eighteen years later I know what you mean
Dad, you were right as you so often were
I feel your loss but this lessens the hurt
I've never been here before
Knowing you'll no longer walk through the door
