leave you	The voice of the wind, and glimmers of light, flow over you as you drift to sleep I won't forget your kind smile, or your eyes tinged with sorrow I hold hope (even if it hurts), because you gave me the courage to stand strong, and so I keep going In my dreams (when I wake up), I'll see you again I keep those distant memories in my heart, as I sing You protected this fleeting, wayward world with your own two hands So for now, please rest your wings, and sleep peacefully Surrounded by unending tranquility, and love through all eternity Rest in my arms, as I gently watch over you I remember all your joy, (your sorrow), your anger I won't forget it, no matter what, until my life is exhausted At a crosswalk, I heard a voice much like yours I turned around, then looked up at the sky to hold back my tears I hope that tomorrow (or someday) I can see you again, as I wander alone Through rainy nights (and sunny mornings), I keep on waiting I won't forget running through that dark night The days when we were all together were short, but so bright I passed that time by, oblivious to how precious it was So now, to look back with fondness, I will embrace the feeling I remember you were at my side in that moment You were always (always) always there, smiling right next to me Even if I lose you, I'll find you again, I will never leave you You protected this fleeting, wayward
