A beautiful and fragile song about saying goodbye for the last time to someone close. Written by Monzie Blue, in loving memory of her mother, who passed away in 2023.
Lyrics
Just like light
Transcendent and beautiful
Ready to leave
You’ve said your goodbyes
Leaving behind
A life full of memories
So grateful we met
That I could call you mine
I will wait here with you
For your soul to leave freely
I’ll wait here with you
Hold your hand, kiss your brow
Keep you safe,
Until your final goodbye
Your final goodbye
Just like glass
Your face on the pillowcase
Eyes shining bright
Like the January sky
Hands on your chest
Just a whisper of life
Faint smile on your lips
Says it’s time to fly
I will wait here with you
For your soul to leave freely
I’ll wait here with you
Hold your hand, kiss your brow
Keep you safe,
Until your final goodbye
Your final goodbye
An angel on earth now an angel above
You’re bound to my heart by invisible chords
I still feel you near,
Your care and your love
I will wait for another hello
I open the window to the cold winter air
All is so still, you are no longer here
Only love, only peace,
You’ve been dreaming of this
To go home, to go home
I will wait here with you
For your soul to leave freely
I’ll wait here with you
Hold your hand, kiss your brow
Keep you safe,
Until your final goodbye
Your final goodbye
Just like light
Transcendent and beautiful
One final breath
Only silence
