Lyrics
Paper doves, quilted spread
Teddy bears left here on the bed
Your perfume, still fits the room
Photographs, perfect bride and groom
(chorus)
And then my heart begins to cry
When I think of our goodbyes
Sharing memories of love through the years
We were laughing and holding back tears
For the children your love was so great
Fighting cancer you always kept faith
Half a meal, all alone
Hits so hard knowing you are gone
Part of me can’t let go
Part of you stays with me I know
Like the sand washed away by the rain
I’m a man overcome by the pain
I promised you I wouldn’t stay
Stay this way
