Liner Notes

This is another title prompt. I knew from the title I wanted to kind of be about remembering the ones we've lost.

I've had my own loss with my son passing when he was 7 and in the last year or two I've had friends who experienced similarly deep losses as well. So this is for me and them. To carry on with living the lives the ones we loved didn't get to have.

I think the song could use a bridge, but I limited myself to two days time working on it and didn't come up with one. But I think this one will get revisited later this year.

Lyrics

It always comes to me in dreams
All the things I’ll never see
Not ever again, not ever again
The way you laugh
That smile you had
No not again, not ever again

If I’m going to light a candle for all to see
Why not ignite a flame deep inside of me
A living paper lantern to your memory
A paper lantern for every one to see

It always comes to me
When I’m least expecting
Every time, yea every time
A little smile just for me
When I think about what could be
Every time, every single time

If I’m going to light a candle for all to see
Why not ignite a flame deep inside of me
A living paper lantern to your memory
A paper lantern for every one to see
