Lyrics
The news fell soft and heavy like a shadow on the day,
And the whole town seemed to whisper all the things we couldn't say.
But the stories started rising, every memory shining through,
Of the laughter that you carried and the kindness that you grew.
You were sunlight in a doorway, you were warmth in every room,
And the world felt just a little less afraid when you were in the bloom.
Every friend you ever welcomed felt the glow you left behind,
And the love you gave so freely is the treasure that we find.
(Chorus)
This is our tribute, our promise to your name,
To remember how you lifted us and lit our hearts aflame.
Though the tears fall gently, your spirit still remains --
In the flowers, in the stories, in the love that never wanes.
This is our tribute.
Now the pavement's lined with blossoms, every colour, every shade,
Notes of gratitude and heartache for the difference that you made.
People gather in the quiet, sharing moments soft and true,
And the grief becomes a chorus of the lives you carried through.
(Bridge)
And though you left too early, though the years were far too few,
There's a brightness in the sorrow when we speak of knowing you.
For the light you gave is lasting, and it guides us like a flame --
A reminder that your presence shaped the world you had to claim.
(Chorus)
This is our tribute, our promise to your name,
To remember how you lifted us and lit our hearts aflame.
Though the tears fall gently, your spirit still remains --
In the flowers, in the stories, in the love that never wanes.
This is our tribute.
So we'll carry you in laughter, in the moments soft and sweet,
In the echoes of your footsteps on the paths we used to meet.
And though life moves ever forward, one truth will still be clear --
You were cherished, you were golden, and your memory stays near.
