Verse 1 The day God called my little girl home, the whole world lost its sound. Every dream I'd planted in my heart fell broken to the ground. The silence echoed louder than words could say. I became a mother missing her child, And nothing felt the same. Verse 2 There were nights I woke up crying, calling my baby's name. Chasing shadows through my dreams, never waking quite the same. Morning brought an empty room, A rocking chair stood still. I'd reach my arms into the dark... I know I always will. Chorus In the magical imagining, She's still right here with me. I can hear her little laughter Drifting softly on the breeze. For a moment time surrenders, And heaven feels so near. Then I open up my eyes... And find Nicole's not here. (Instrumental pause) Verse 3 Love was standing all around me, But grief had made me blind. Friends became a circle of light While I was lost inside. Slowly I began believing Nicole's love had never gone. It found a home inside my heart, Where it will always live on. Bridge Lord, don't ever take the memories, not even when I'm old. They're all I have to hold. Final Chorus In the magical imagining, I still rock her in my arms, I still sing the songs she loved. In my heart she'll always be my precious gift from God above. Though this road is long and lonely, my love has never died. A mother's heart keeps beating for the child she holds inside. Final Outro Don't ever take my memories, not even when I'm old, they're all I have to hold. (music almost gone) Nicole... you'll always be the sweetest song my heart will ever sing, until the day I hold you again.
