I stumbled onto this song last night, I've listened to it about 50 times by this point, crying my eyes out but I love it. It says everything that I've been thinking and feeling, like it was written just for Fiona. I love Daughtry anyway but this song.....hits home in a way no song every has before. It's crazy to say but it may be exactly what I needed to find to start helping me heal in a way. I sit here listening to the lyrics with tears soaking my shirt, but for the first time since she died I feel a little bit of peace, just a little bit.
"Gone Too Soon"
Today could have been the day,
That you blow out your candles,
Make a wish as you close your eyes.
Today could have been the day,
Everybody was laughing,
Instead I just sit here and cry,
Who would you be?
What would you look like,
When you looked at me for the very first time?
Today could have been the next day of the rest of your life.
Not a day goes by,
That I don't think of you,
I'm always asking why this crazy world had to lose,
Such a ray of light we never knew,
Gone too soon, yeah.
Would you have been president
Or a painter, an author, or sing like your mother?
One thing is evident,
Would've given all I had,
Would've loved you like no other.
Who would you be,
What would you look like,
Would you have my smile and her eyes?
Today could have been the next day of the rest of your life.
Not a day goes by,
That I don't think of you,

Gone too soon, yeah.
Not a day goes by,
Oh
I'm always asking why.
Not a day goes by,
That I don't think of you,
I'm always asking why this crazy world had to lose,
Such a beautiful light we never knew,
Gone too soon,
You were gone too soon
Yeah.
Not a day goes by,
That I don't think of you.
That you blow out your candles,
Make a wish as you close your eyes.

Sometimes music is medicine for our soul. Although our situations are totally different and I can't even fathom how you feel, I know music has helped me. When I feel like I just can't take another day, I find a song, sob through it, and just tell myself that everything that I endure is for a reason. I've been every emotion and I often wonder if I will even be 'me' again?!?!
ReplyDeleteI've prayed continuously for you. I love you and I wish I was closer to provide some sort of comfort. Even if it's just letting you nap the day away. I am not sure why these tragedies happen, or what good and logical reason there could ever be to justify any of this. Hopefully you will get some peace and even the slightest bit of understanding, even though that doesn't eliminated the situation by any means. <3 <3 <3 <3
