Slip Away

We had a love that felt like it could conquer time  
We danced in circles 'round our fears,
around our dreams  
I would’ve given you the sky, torn at the seams  

You brought light into my darkest night  
Now, dim the moon, for it’s lost its light  
It aches so deep  

All the mountains we climbed,
every tear, every sigh  
Now, with you gone, how do
I even say goodbye
I searched for reasons, asked the poets,
asked the wise  
They said, “Love is always weighed
in loss and goodbyes”  
And when the world was cold and gray  
You found a way to chase the clouds away  
But it aches so deep  
To let a soul slip away
