A song about holding on to the love you have and realizing love never dies
Lyrics
Are you gonna miss me when I’m gone?
Will you find the strength to carry on?
Are you gonna miss me?
Are you gonna miss me?
You and I are meant to be
But one day we’ll be history
But that don’t mean our love won’t go on
So are you gonna miss me when I’m gone?
Are you gonna miss me when I’m gone?
Will you find the strength to carry on?
And all the stars we look upon
Are you gonna miss me?
Are you gonna miss me when I’m gone?more
A song about love and loss
Lyrics
Change surrounds me
Fresh start unknown
You pull one way
I’ve got my own
Cradling my treasure
A jewel in the light
Holding tight till we make it right
Feel the pressure
Voices loud
Yet all I see is
You in the crowd
Cradling my treasure
A jewel in the light
Holding tight till we make it right
Maybe I’m dreaming
Fears in my mind
Yet surely not alone this time
Journey ahead
Your words I can’t shake
But what I have I won’t forsake
Cradling my treasure
A jewel in the light
Holding tight till we make it right more
