Story Behind the Song
I wrote this song after hearing news of a local girl dying in a car wreck very close to Christmas, the outpouring of grief was incredible. I know some of her freinds and felt like writing a song for the situation.
This is take #1.
Lyrics
here in the dark
the moon it spends the night with me
all the times we shared
and all those things we said we would do
they haunt me, and I just
find myself remembering
I see you smile, I hear you sing
no, you're not here, you're everything
it's the next best thing
the days are often far too long
and every moment feels so wrong
I'll dream tonight and you'll be waiting
it's the next best thing
the snow in your hair
your voice, it's ringing in my ears
but the sun still shines
reminds me I've got nothing to fear,
I miss you and I just
find myself remembering
I see you smile, I hear you sing
no, you're not here, you're everything
it's the next best thing
the days are often far too long
and every moment feels so wrong
I'll dream tonight and you'll be waiting
it's the next best thing
