Lighthouse

We all held candles the other day
 Let go of fifty balloons
 Your mother said things that she wanted to say
 Some people got choked up
 And everyone tried hard to age slowly
 Try again tomorrow
 And not let this happen again
 Oh we can't understand it
 Lest we ever forget
 I will stand here
 As a lighthouse
 Carry on
 Carry on
 I wish I could see you another time
 I wish I could turn things around
 I wish that my sorrow would lead me to find
 Another few hours
 Another few ways to try to age slowly
 Try again tomorrow
 And not let this happen again
 Though we can't understand it
 Lest we ever forget
 I will stand here
 As a lighthouse
 Carry on
 Carry on
 And we don't have to wonder
 We know we all miss you the most
 We know we all miss you the most
 Yeah we know we all miss you the most
 I put on your sweatshirt the other day
 Because I was thinking of you
 I tried to remember what my preacher told me
 About trying to make every precious moment last
 And to age slowly
 Try again tomorrow
 And not let this happen again
 Oh though we can't understand it
 Lest we ever forget
 I will stand here
 As a lighthouse
 Carry on
 Carry on
 Carry on
 Carry on
