Sidewalk flowers Lyrics

It's been six years since we met

4 years, 2 months and 3 days since you left

4 years that felt like twenty

And even longer since I've slept

Two days since I danced with your ghost

or was that just a dream

Two days since you said it's ok to move on

And you faded into forever

I tried to trade my soul for you

But God gave grace when the Devil failed

Thank you for the gift of time

For time I spent with you and for time

That turns bleeding wounds into scars that will fade

and the strongest flower will grow

Through the hardest of stone

From your funeral to my darkest days alone

When no friend or verse could comfort

When I embraced darkness and gave up on hope

Today is finally different…It's finally different

The grief will still come in waves

It will find me in the dark

It will chase me in the light

But I won't run, there is hope in the morning

It was a gift, my time with you

Someday your loss will bring blessings too

and the strongest flower will grow

through the hardest of stone
