[Verse 1] You walked this world with quiet strength A smile hiding all the weight You gave your love in borrowed time Still you gave more than you could take Every room still holds your voice Every corner knows your name We never saw the clock run down We just thought you’d always stay [Chorus] Some hearts burn too bright to last Life is just not fair You fought with all your will for so long On this night I say a prayer I see your kids and it makes me cry Empty years no one can give back Your memories forged in all our minds Some hearts burn too bright too fast [Verse 2] The house is louder in the dark Empty chairs, untouched days Little hands still reaching up Asking why you went away We tell your stories soft and slow So they know the love was real That their mother’s heart still beats In every memory they feel [Chorus] Some hearts burn too bright to last Life is just not fair You fought with all your will for so long On this night I say a prayer I see your kids and it makes me cry Empty years no one can give back Your memories forged in all our minds Some hearts burn too bright too fast [Final Chorus] Some hearts burn too bright to last Life is just not fair You fought with all your will for so long On this night I say a prayer I see your kids and it makes me cry Empty years no one can give back Your memories forged in all our minds Some hearts burn too bright too fast [Outro] Some hearts burn too bright… Too bright too fast
