Intro (very soft piano, distant warmth) It was a December day Christmas morn I walked up the stairs And saw my mother there ⸻ Verse 1 (tender, calm) She opened her arms wide I ran to her And felt the strength of hers On which I always relied Mom, I whispered Tears in eyes I thought you died I thought you died ⸻ Pre-Chorus (gentle reassurance) She hugged me again And whispered in my ear I did — I am no longer here But I am near ⸻ Chorus (peaceful, glowing) Love lives on Love is strong I love you always Is what she said Love lives on Love is strong I am no longer here But I am near ⸻ Verse 2 (dream dissolving into morning light) Then suddenly She disappeared Wafted away like air I awoke in bed Sun rays reaching Through the crack in the shades Wrapped around me Lit the dark grey To sunbeam streams Thought of the example She’d shown While alive How unanchored I felt Now she’d transitioned ⸻ Instrumental (soft, luminous) ⸻ Verse 3 (second dream) Then years later Another dream I was standing In front of a door That was locked Someone was knocking A voice came From the other side Let me in ⸻ Pre-Chorus 2 (recognition) I recognized the voice As Mom I opened the door And we hugged ⸻ Chorus 2 (reassurance) She said she is happy And fine And around She said she loved me You will understand everything In the end Love lives on Love is strong I love you always ⸻ Bridge (Mom’s words — calm wisdom) She said — Work on letting go Of the little things Work on forgiving Because in the end What truly matters Will still matter What doesn’t truly matter Still won’t matter at all ⸻ Final Refrain (peaceful closure) Love lives on Love is strong I am no longer here But I am near Love lives on Love lives on ⸻ 🌤️ Musical Ending (for Suno) Outro (instruments soften, spacious, slowing slightly) Love lives on Love is strong I am no longer here But I am near Love lives on ⸻ [Music continues softly — piano + pads only] [Gradual fade out — voice becomes airy, distant] [Long gentle instrumental fade to silence]
