Story Behind The Song

I wrote it for my uncle after he was diagnosed with cancer to cheer him on while he was undergoing chemotherapy. I wanted to somehow keep him alive even if he didn't pull through by immortalizing him in a song.

Song Description

Full of hope, compassion, and caring, this song recounts the twists and turns of finding out that the person you love the most has an "incurable" disease. How difficulties can bring out the best in a relationship.

Lyrics

You managed to find me when
I didn't think anyone
could love me as I am

You're the best man I've ever known
who I can always count on
in the good times and the bad

But you've been feeling run down lately
And you found out it's worse than you thought
Well it's my turn to care for you now

CHORUS
You won't see me cry
'Cause I'm hanging on to you
You won't see me stop
believing you'll pull right through
You won't see me cry
Deep down inside I find
I'll keep your love alive
You won't see me cry

Next year you were gonna change jobs
And finally do what you love
like you'd always planned

But one day you were healthy and now you're not
Six months is all they say you've got
You squeeze forever in while you can

You're so calm and strong and selfless
Loving everyone you see
You're a role model to me

CHORUS

You've had tough times and made it through
It's just another test to challenge you
You can fight it, rise above it
You're a survivor
Let my love lift you higher

CHORUS
