Sung by Emily Raferty with instrumentals by Stonefolk.
ALL THE LOVE YOU GAVE
Everytime I get in the car I call you
I still got a lot I want to say
Like everytime I looked in your eyes I never wondered
how much life that we were gonna make
Your smile made everyone feel welcome
On paper you had the perfect life
I know you didn’t mean to leave us
But you couldn’t overcome the hurt inside
I will take all the tears you left me
I will leave the world a better place
I will take all the love you gave me
Hold our children close and keep them safe
Keep them safe (mmm)
Keep them safe
Even though we were young I knew I loved you
we transcended time & space
When we danced hand in hand through the city of second chances
I felt the magic that we could create
Your smile made everyone feel welcome
On paper you had the perfect life
I know you didn’t mean to leave us
But you couldn’t overcome the hurt inside
I will take all the tears you left me
I will leave the world a better place
I will take all the love you gave me
Hold our children close and keep them safe
Keep them safe (mmm)
Keep them safe
BRIDGE
I know you are with us on the other side
I lost this battle but I’ll win this fight
when the sun shines on a cloudy day
We’ll know that it’s you showing love our way
I will take all the tears you left me
I will leave the world a better place
I will take all the love you gave me
Hold our children close and keep them safe
We will take all the tears you left me
We will leave the world a better place
We will take all the love you gave me
Hold our children close and keep them safe
Keep them safe (mmm)
