Rachel's Song

We had a good run
It’s been a good year
All the laughter
And the hurt
And the love
And the tears
It’s all been worth it
I would’ve been lost without it
I would’ve been gone without you

I had a great time
Every moment changed my life
Every step was exactly what I needed
And I needed you every step of the way
I don’t know how much more I can say
It’s been beautiful to have your hand to hold
It’s been soothing to know I’m not alone
To know I’m going to see your face

I don’t know if I can go on knowing tomorrow won’t be the same
As yesterday

It kills me to think
That after all this time
I would really leave

I couldn’t stand on my own two feet without you
Now I’m taking risks
Unafraid to lose

You told me I could do this
And now I am
But with only the shadow pain of you
Squeezing my hand
I’m breathing deep and I’m leaving home
It just hit me that it’s really time to go

I close my eyes and see your face and I know
I love you so…
I love you so…

And the world is calling my name
But it doesn’t say it the way that you do
There’s no voice like you
None like you

We had a good run
It’s been a good few years
Every step of the way has now brought us here
And I was so sure that when the time came
I would be strong enough and confident enough
To walk away
With a smile on my face
But…

I don’t want to be where you can’t be
And I can’t bear the thought of you out of reach
I was so ready to show the world what I’m made of
And with one foot out the door realized
I don’t care what it thinks
All that matters is you

You made the best moments of my life
And I want you to make the next moments of my life
Without you
The world seems less bright
And the shimmer starts to fade from my eyes
I just don’t have the passion when your hand is not in mine

We had a good run
And I thought I could let it end
But then I put my strength to the test
And to my peaceful relief
I failed that test miserably

I don’t ever want to say goodbye
The world can beg for me and plead for me and cry
But none of it is worth it if you’re not in my life
So I’m not moving forward
Unless your stride matches mine
