(Beautiful Melody, Melancholy ballad for a POWERFUL female vocal, Rich harmony, lush instrumentation, deep emotion, soaring trills)

[Verse 1]
I’ve packed his ashes in a box,
And driven down the old dirt road.
To the Arkansas hills where the river flows,
Where the quiet waters softly go.

[Soaring Chorus with trills]
I’ll let him float where the waters run clear,
Where the pines stand tall, and the sky is near.
In the place where his heart used to roam,
I’ll leave him there, where he’s always home.

[Verse 2]
The moonlight falls on the mountain side,
I feel his presence, though he’s not by my side.
Through the trees, I hear him call,
Whispering softly, saying, "It’s time to let go."

[Soaring Chorus Trills]
I’ll let him float where the waters run clear,
Where the pines stand tall, and the sky is near.
In the place where his heart used to roam,
I’ll leave him there, where he’s always home.

[Bridge]
I can’t hold on, though I want to try,
But the river keeps flowing, and I must say goodbye.
The ashes are light, but my heart’s heavy still,
As I let him go with the waters, against my will.

[Outro]
Now he rests where the waters run clear,
In the land that he loved, forever near.
