Tory Cottingham - A Fond Farewell before you Go lyrics

rate me

You’re taking your first step like it’s the last one

that you will ever have;

you’re counting the stars up late ‘til midnight –

you wonder where they go.

If only I could write a letter in pictures just this time,

I’d say ‘Sweetie, don’t you cry now,’

and wipe your tears away.

I wish I could take your nightmares,

and make them disappear.

I hope your curiosity and trust never go to waste.

If a big black cloud comes down to scare you

and take away your dreams,

I just can’t let that happen to you.

I know that everything burns beautifully now.

You’ll see that the lights in life can only shine for you.

I saw a face in the clouds last night,

and I thought of you.

Morning comes, but I still haven’t slept,

thinking about what I’ve done.

And how a little life can be affected by every single word.

I hope one day you will remember me and smile,

and I’ll come back to life through you.
