V5

Verse 1 Do not stand at my grave and weep, I am not there, I do not sleep. I am a thousand winds that blow; I am the diamond glints on the snow. I am the sunlight on ripened grain; I am the gentle autumn’s rain. When you awaken in the morning’s hush, I am the swift uplifting rush Of quiet birds in circled flight, I am the soft star in the night. ⸻ Chorus I am not gone, I’m all around, In every sky, in every sound, In every breath the earth still gives, In every place your memory lives. So lift your eyes, don’t say goodbye, I’m in the wind that passes by— Not lost to time, not far away, I’m with you more than yesterday. ⸻ Verse 2 In every wave upon the shore, In every echo evermore, In drifting clouds and open air, You’ll find a trace of me still there. In laughter shared and tears you cry, In every question asking why, I linger where your heart can see, A quiet thread of you and me. ⸻ Chorus I am not gone, I’m all around, In every sky, in every sound, In every breath the earth still gives, In every place your memory lives. So lift your eyes, don’t say goodbye, I’m in the wind that passes by— Not lost to time, not far away, I’m with you more than yesterday. ⸻ Bridge And when the night feels cold and long, Listen close—I’m in the song, A whisper soft, a steady light, Guiding you through darkest night. ⸻ Verse 3 So do not stand and weep for me, I’m not bound by what you see, In every dawn and setting sun, In every end, I’m just begun. ⸻ Final Chorus I am not gone, I’m all around, In every sky, in every sound, In every breath the earth still gives, In every place your memory lives. So hold me close, don’t say goodbye, I’m in your heart, I never die— Not lost to time, not far away, I’m with you more than yesterday.
