lyrics

I cannot see the light
I cannot see the light in your eyes
I thought I recognised
The faintest of hope on your side

I know you won't be there
But I'd love to see you smile

You put up quite a fight
While I was hiding the fear in my eyes
Your heart was so alive
And there you were your sister by your side

Well my love for you will never end
And I know that you won't be there
But I'd love to see you smile

And I'd love to see you smile
And I'd love to see you smile
And I'd love to see you smile

I know you're in my heart (how am I supposed to live this way)
I know you're there but I can't see that far (It's been so long since you went away)
(How am I supposed to ever see you smile)
(Its been so long since the day you died)

I know you're by my side (how am I supposed to live this way)
I know you're there no reason left to hide (It's been so long since you went away)
(How am I supposed to ever see you smile)
(Its been so long since the day you died)

Oh my love for you will never end
And I'd love to see you smile
