Had to have one of our cats put to sleep this week and I wanted to write something after a few days of mourning. I couldn't write about her directly but I wanted the underlying sentiment to come through. So I wrote this...

FOREVER

Her eyes were bluer
Than the bluest summer sky
And her smile could turn the winter nights to day
And those who knew her
Felt her presence in their lives
Like the golden sun that keeps the cold at bay

But it couldn't last forever
Though she fought on to the end
But the iron grip of death was much too strong
There's no way that I'll forget her
She was such a faithful friend
And I'm sure the pain will ease before too long

Because her memory will never fade
As long as I have breath
And I know that we will meet again
In Heaven

No heart was truer
Than the one she gave to me
I will cherish every moment in her arms
There's nothing crueler
Than a love that finds defeat
In the hands of time. It outlasts every heart

As I stand beside her gravestone
There are no words you can say
That can bring a shred of comfort to my soul
She would not see me in pain, no
She would hold me close and say
That no matter where she's gone I'm not alone

Am I clinging on to something fake
Is this time all we have?
Will we really get to meet again
In Heaven?

INSTRUMENTAL

No eyes were bluer
Than the ones that held my own
How I miss them gazing lovingly at me
When they entombed her
In that coffin, all alone
It was like the world forgot that she was real

I accept that nothing ever lasts
All things must have an end
But a kiss beyond is all I ask
Of Heaven

So on Earth I'll bide my time and wait
For time to bring my end
Cos I know I'll find you once again
In Heaven

Where forever
Our hearts will beat again...

Some sweet lyrics in what I can only assume is a deeply personal song? I wasn't keen on the double "But" line starts near the beginning of the song, but only a small niggle. Great work. Packs an emotional punch.

Some nice lyrics here, the sadness/emotion comes through well.

“So on Earth I'll bide my time and wait
For time to bring my end
Cos I know I'll find you once again
In Heaven”

Love this part. 😊

Yes. I tend to iron those things out if I ever come to touch up the lyrics.

"For" would work instead of the second "But", if you're looking for alternatives.

Sweet, effective lyric.
