[Verse 1] Gratitude now fills my heart, even though I feel this pain. You left your loved ones far too soon, what an empty, aching strain. Seen so much across this world, so much joy and so much pain. But when I think about your grace, a noble heart was your domain. [Pre-Chorus] In quiet nights I search for you, feel your presence deep inside. A warming breath, a gentle glow, as if you still were by my side. [Chorus] Then my empty heart refills anew and softens just a bit this pain. I let you go, though it still hurts, you are now free, beloved heart. I let you go, though it still hurts, you are now free, beloved heart. [Verse 2] I carry still your smile in me, it softly guides me on my way. With every step you walk with me through all the darkness as I stray. Your quiet care, your tender word, it echoes in me everywhere. I will not fall beyond return, for in me rests your shining care. [Pre-Chorus] In all the colors of this time, I feel your endless, boundless light. A part of you stays here with me, in every breath by day and night. [Chorus] Then my empty heart refills anew and softens just a bit this pain. I let you go, though it still hurts, you are now free, beloved heart. I let you go, though it still hurts, you are now free, beloved heart. [Bridge] You are the wind that softly blows, the star that still above me gleams. In every laughter, every tone, you live in me through all my dreams. [Chorus] Then my empty heart refills anew and softens just a bit this pain. I let you go, though it still hurts, you are now free, beloved heart. I let you go, though it still hurts, you are now free, beloved heart. [Outro] I let you go, yet keep you near, within my heart you stay with me. You now are free, yet deep within your gentle presence lives in me.
