Painted Legacy

You can't go yet
 There's so much left unsaid I need to say
 You don't know it
 But you made me who I am today
 Do you remember when you had to learn to braid our hair?
 It was a mess but you made the best of what was there
 You can't go yet
 I wanna tell you how the girls have been
 And they don't know yet
 I need to call them, how do I begin?
 What would I do to try to make them understand?
 I wonder if you'd pretend you'd flown to Neverland
 The way your painted legacy
 Brings alive my memories
 Of how you spun pure gold out of the dust
 I can't bear to see you go
 Somewhere far where I can't follow
 Oh, but I'll hold them how you held us
 Close and safe and unafraid of love
 And that's enough
 ♪
 I still see you
 Smiling back at me, your blue eyes clear
 And I will see you
 In my memory and in the mirror
 Your easy laughter lighting up across my face
 Your heart and mine are tied and that will never change
 The way your painted legacy
 Brings alive my memories
 Of how you spun pure gold out of the dust
 I can't bear to see you go
 Somewhere far where I can't follow
 Oh, but I'll hold them how you held us
 Close and safe and unafraid of love
 And that's enough
 ♪
 As the softest sunset colours fade into a greying sky
 I will always want just one more day to list the reasons why
 You will always be mine
 You will always be mine
 And that's enough
