    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
