The morning light slips through the gallery glass, Soft colors still whisper from a life that’s passed. Every faded hillside, every ocean sky, Still holds the heartbeat of a soul that learned to fly. People stop in silence, they don’t know what to say, Just stand before the paintings where he somehow chose to stay. A little piece of laughter in every careful line, A life that keeps on shining long after its time. Chorus The pastels in the gallery still carry his name, Though the hands are gone, the colors burn the same. We weep for the artist, for the friend we’ve lost, For every dream he painted, no matter what the cost. But memories don’t fade like the setting sun— They’re hanging on these walls, forever one by one. Verse 2 The blues are a little deeper, the gold a little warm, Like he knew that someday we’d need shelter from the storm. Every stroke reminds us love never disappears; It simply changes places and lives beyond the tears. We hear his quiet stories in every painted scene, In fields of summer wildflowers and rivers evergreen. His spirit fills the room where the silence softly sings, Leaving us with beauty that outlives earthly things. Bridge Though the easel now stands empty, His heart is everywhere. In every gentle color, We still find him there. Final Chorus The pastels in the gallery will never say goodbye; They’re windows to forever beneath an endless sky. We’ll weep for the artist, but we’ll celebrate his light, For he taught our hearts that beauty outlives every night. His memories live on in every shade and hue— Every painting tells us, “I’m still here with you.” Outro So leave the lights on in the gallery tonight… Let the colors speak where words no longer can. For an artist never truly leaves this world behind— He lives forever in the hearts… and in the work… he left in our hands.
