Between Now and Forever Lyrics

I hope I made you proud

Today I put paper to pen
Like I've done many times before
But it's time, I can't deny
The loss that I felt inside

So I kept my distance
But I'd go back it somehow
Your brief existence
An emptiness I can't resist

A memory's not enough
My world has fallen apart
And all I have left
A smiling face without an embrace

I closed my heart and tried and hide
From a void I can't describe
But in a child's eyes I realized
That this empty space can't be replaced

I'd fall from grace for your embrace
I'm sorry that I stayed away
I fall and pray that you'd save me
Kissing your grave tracing your name

How did my heart become so jaded?
Was it the guilt or just remorse?
I keep coming back to this
It's your smile that I still miss
Help me keep my life on course

And though your life passed
We'll stay together
And when I'm laid to rest
You'll be my light forever

I'd fall from grace for your embrace
I'm sorry that I stayed away
I'd fall from grace for your embrace
I'm sorry that I stayed away
I'd fall from grace for your embrace
I'm sorry that I stayed away
