Lyrics
(verse 1)
If tomorrow finds you waking
And I’m not there beside your light
Don’t you let the silence take you
Don’t you turn away from life
(pre-chorus)
Every road we ever dreamed of
Still remembers how to shine
(chorus)
So carry on… even if I’m gone
Love the world the way we wanted
Hold the dawn
And when the night feels long
Hear my heart inside your heartbeat
Moving on
(verse 2)
I was never meant to keep you
Only walk you to the door
All the love I ever gave you
Is still yours to give once more
(pre-chorus)
Nothing real is ever wasted
Nothing true is left behind
(chorus)
So carry on… even if I’m gone
Love the world the way we wanted
Hold the dawn
And when the night feels long
Hear my heart inside your heartbeat
Moving on
(bridge – very quiet)
This isn’t goodbye
It’s just where the light
Changes form…
(final chorus – lifted)
Carry on… even if I’m gone
Sing the song we left unfinished
Travel on
And somewhere down the line
Love will find you in the open
Like the sun
(outro)
And I’ll be there…
In every sky you’re under.
