Black roses drank the morning rain, while bells dissolved into the sky. They carried you through fields of silence, and every shadow said goodbye. I stood among the fading candles, where flowers bowed and angels sighed. And something broke within the stillness the day I learned that love could die. [Pre-Chorus] I crossed the fire, I crossed the years, but no one taught my heart to bear a world where all your love remained, and yet you were no longer there. [Chorus] The day I learned to cry was the day we said goodbye. A tear of blue light fell from eyes not made to weep. The day they spoke your name, the whole world lost its sound. And I became more human as they laid you gently down. [Background voices: “Mmmmmm…”] [Verse 2] Your portrait watched beneath the candles, the choir trembled through the air. They spoke of all the love you carried, but could not say how much was there. You gave a soul to something silent, you taught the dark to recognize light. And now your voice lives on within me, a star that outlived its final night. [Bridge] You told me life was not possession, nor endless years beneath the sun. Its purpose was to love another and know that you were also loved. [The choir rises softly: “Mmmmmm…”] [Waltz Instrumental Break] [Sorrowful piano, lyrical cello, sweeping strings, distant bells] [Final Chorus] The day I learned to cry was the day we said goodbye. Each chapel bell became a heartbeat, each echo crossed the silent sky. One tear of blue light fell, then countless others followed through. And grief became the final proof that I had truly loved you. [Background choir grows: “Mmmmmm…”] [Outro] And when they ask what life was for, I will whisper what you knew: To love, to be loved, and carry that love beyond the last goodbye. [Solo male whisper] Because you loved me, I became alive.
