I wrote this song for my grandmother who sadly passed away on this day 4 years ago. I was inspired by Ed Sheeran's Supermarket Flowers and Israel Kamakawiwoʻole's Over the Rainbow. Writing this song helped me let out some pain and emotions. Thank you for your time and i hope you enjoy.
Sunflowers
Somewhere in the night sky, I see you shine Someday we will once again be together, way up high Sometime in the near future, Sunflowers won’t die
I look upon the sky at night Wishing you were here tonight That seems to happen every day for the past few years Or each time I let out all of my tears So much time has passed and so many things you have missed But I continue to have you in my thoughts so you can exist I continue to wish upon the stars That maybe one day I could go far But since that day I have felt so lost Hoping for someone to seek me from my dark thoughts I look upon the night for you everyday Wishing that you would had stayed There nothing more that I wish for So please God let me through your doors
Somewhere in the night sky, I wave goodbye Someday we will once again be together, way up high Sometime in the near future, Sunflowers won’t die
April 22nd, that day haunts me every time The week of the day though hits harder when all you can see is everything next to come Like seeing you in that quiet room Laying there in that space, while everyone looks at you even though you’re not awake Or that time when I was listening to music Ed Sheeran’s song played and my brain became awaken All I could think of was playing this song When that unfortunate event would eventually come What’s even worse is I never visited you Because I hated seeing you that way Even when you were out of that room and in a bigger space I was too afraid to see that scary look on your face I should had come to see you one last time I regret it every day and it always replays in my mind Not being able to say goodbye to the one person who helped you feel strong The one person who made you feel like you can live on The one who understood you and made you not feel alone I should had been there but I fucked up I wish I had one last talk with you and got to say goodbye But I was a fucking idiot and never made that an opportunity But that’s a big excuse I could of at least seen you once or twice but I was afraid of those tubes in your arm The tubes in your nose, the heart monitor next to your bed I should have been there like those times when I was small and young You beat the battle that time cause you did it for me 20 years later I was no longer three and I was well aware of everything happening Maybe if I visited you would have had the strength But the cancer grew worse and time slowly escaped From me to come say goodbye, so I sit here in my darkness And wish I had said my final goodbyes
Somewhere in the night sky, I see you cry Someday we will once again be together, way up high Sometime in the near future, Sunflowers won’t die
It’s difficult to be in your home To see everything missing that you once owned The computer you played on where you taught me to play poker Or the chair you sat on where you would watch Oprah You missed so much that I wish you got to witness in person Like me graduating college or Lauren graduating high school Meeting your new granddaughter Zoey, the little furry one Or seeing me grow up to the man I am today I’m glad you did get to witness all the great things I did when I was still a kid But now you get to watch me become a grownup It’s pretty sad to not being able to see you anymore It’s like a butterfly leaving her little ones so they could officially grow It’s worse that I know I’m not alone on this boat Cause Larry misses you and I know one day I will feel this sad pain again But I will be ready for when that day comes I have learned from my mistakes and will hopefully get my final goodbyes I wish I had the strength to visit your stone, that’s something I need to do one day I need to defiantly do it alone where I can let out everything From my emotions to tell you every single detail you missed One day that will happen, that’s a promise I could make But every April 22nd I will continue to think of you, even though it could take me to a puddle of sadness But at least I know you will always exist In my mind and in my heart Mom and Dad misses you, well the whole family does as well There so much to tell you but maybe I could wait For when we are together up there in Heaven’s Gates I wrote this song for you to help cope and take away some pain I know it’s not easy to cope with losing your best friend in the end But one day I know we will be together again
Somewhere in the night sky, your star shines so bright Someday we will once again be together, way up high Sometime in the near future, Sunflowers won’t die………
