The Light That Stays

You left with the sunset

But your warmth never fades

I still feel your presence

In the quietest of days

You're gone from every moment

But not from every breath

You linger in the silence

You live beyond your death

You're the light that stays

When the night begins to fall

You're the voice that calms

When I can't stand at all

Though time has tried to take you

Your love remains

You're the light that stays

Through all my pain

I see you in reflections

In songs I used to sing

You're woven through my memory

Like a never-ending string

You're the part of me that's endless

The flame I'll always keep

You're the light that stays

Even when I sleep

You're gone from every moment

But not from every breath

You linger in the silence

You live beyond your death
