Lyrics

Eighty-eight years is a long time
To give like you did with unconditional love
Eighty-eight gone in an instant
But I still see your eyes
Every time I hold this child of mine

Though you're gone, your spirit's still alive
I feel your presence by my side
I hope the light you find will bring you peace in the end

Eighty-eight years in a tin can
You mean so much more than anyone knows
I wish I could hold you forever
My memory holds the key
To every door that leads you back to me

Though you're gone, your spirit's still alive
I feel your presence by my side
I hope the light you find will bring you peace in the end

Losing you in spring was such a cruel joke
It makes the whole damn world seem so alive
Stretched upon a thread 'til your heart broke
And the wind blows you away

Though you're gone, your spirit's still alive
I feel your presence by my side
I hope the light you find will bring you peace in the end
Make you whole in the end
And bring you home in the end
