I never wrote the songs for you
When you were here
The songs you wanted me to do
Throughout the years

And now that time has passed me by
It makes me wonder
Why I never even tried
The spell I’m under

Why did I wait until you’re gone
And then discover all you were
A way to honor that seems wrong
But looking back’s no cure so

I write these songs for you
In hopes that you are looking on
To see this work I do
Cause it’s too late now that you’re gone

I never thought I’d have to say
Goodbye so soon
You never know when time is due
Was it May or June?

And though I had the time to spend
I still feel hollow
The weight of having your life end
No one to follow

Why did I wait until you’re gone
And then discover all you were
A way to honor that seems wrong
But looking back’s no cure so

I write these songs for you
In hopes that you are looking on
To see this work I do
Cause it’s too late now that you’re gone
