So I took a little liberty with the lyrics, just to suit my mood. No offense, Fivefold. No attempt to hijack your beautiful song, just want it to express how I feel about my boy being gone. I wanted to share the song, for everyone who reads my blog who ever lost anybody, 'coz I guarantee it will help you, & I wanted to share my version of the words because I MISS YOU SO MUCH MY PRECIOUS SON. Still do, every single day. Thank you for what you gave me. Thank God for the strength to go on.
Won't Let Go
Fivefold
I found a ghost of the past,
A memory that last seems like yesterday,
That we had it made.
But this is not the way
that we had planned it.
It’s hard to understand what happened
to all the times & all the places,
I guess it's time I need to face this,
you’re not here…
But you've never been so close…
So that's why I say-
That I won't let go-
(oh no, oh no)
Of the memories we hold,
(oh no, oh no)
Teach me how to go on without you-
& I swear I won't let go.
(oh no, oh no)
It’s been so many years,
& we're all still here,
Living day to day.
Keeping your memory safe,
in everything we say and do,
We raise a glass to you-
My Son!
Remember all the times,
& all the faces?
Missing you at night-
It's time to face it-
You're right here.
You've never been too far away
to hear us say…
That we won't let go,
(oh no, oh no)
Of the memories we hold.
(oh no, oh no)
Teach us how to go on without you-
& I swear we won't let go.
(oh no, oh no)
They say you never know what you have -
Until it's gone.
These memories, keep me wide awake -
I know it's been too long.
On the silver screen,
You speak to me-
Of all of the things
You wanted to be.
But you live on, in memory-
& after all this time, I start to see -
You are the one who got us here -
Taught us to cross that line,
Taught us to face our fears.
Through stormy weather
we’ll stay together
& in our hearts you'll live forever.
& that's why-
We won't let go
(oh no, oh no)
Of the memories we hold.
(oh no, oh no)
Teach us how to go on without you.
& I swear we won't let go.
(oh no, oh no) (oh no, oh no)
I swear we won't let go…
