lyrics

There you are just beyond the moon.
Space between
Like a lonely star that flickers in the dark.
Saw you dance, laughing with your daughter.
Wrapped around her,
Wishing time stood still to watch her grow.

Nothing we could do,
Only thirty-six,
A mother and a wife,
Now an empty room.

Goin’ home, goin’ home too soon
Behind the curtain,
Humming in an autumn wind
I hear your voice.
Hand to heart,
I hold you deep within.
Words unspoken,
Showed me love is all that matters,
And what remains.

Nothing we could do,
Only thirty-six,
A mother and a wife,
Now an empty room.

Love, love oh somehow will heal.
Love, love, love somehow will heal.
