You Don't Just Lose Them Once
Grief is only love
That's got no place to go
You don't just lose them once
But every time you feel their soul
Like in the morning as you wake
Or before you lay your head
The thought of them comes creeping in
No consoling words can be said
And every time the wind blows
Or you see a butterfly
A memory of them washes over
A tear trickles from your eye
In the darkness and in the cold
You'll miss their warmth and light
Time may keep on going
But no end to the pain in sight
On the rainy days, and the stormy
When lightning strikes the sky
You'll miss their thunderous laugh
And the twinkle in their eye
'Cause you don't just lose them once
But several times a day
And without a place for that love to go
The grief never goes away
