The Flame

A beating heart is all you get
But that don’t mean you’re living
She lived for every moment
Right down to the minute
Every second she was given
And I see her ride in front of me
Like the embers of a memory
And the stars I count before I sleep at night
She burned bright like a candle till the day the flame ran out
Lived a life full of kindness with a lighthouse in her eyes
And I remember the way she’d always smile at me with love
She burned bright like a candle till the day the flame ran out
She showed me how without a word
To lead a life worth living
So I lived for every moment
Right down to the minute
Every second that I’m given
And I see her ride in front of me
Like the embers of a memory
And the stars I count before I sleep at night
She burned bright like a candle till the day the flame ran out
Lived a life full of kindness with a lighthouse in her eyes
And I remember the way she’d always smile at me with love
She burned bright like a candle till the day the flame ran out
Till the day the flame ran out
