"The Brightest" lyrics

Sleep now darling don't you cry
If it's time to say goodbye
This is not the ending
All the light you're sending down

Maybe you weren't strong enough
But there's a place for you my love
Right here in this family
I'll hold you in the palm of my hand

The bed's all made
The room's all ready
All we had to do was bring you home

Going through the dark and we can hold on to your light
Wish that we could give you all this love we feel inside
Might not get to know you
But we'll see you every night
Cause you'll always be the brightest
Star up in the sky
Always be the brightest

In this place we've been before
Right back where our son was born
All those happy memories
Clouded now the walls all turn to grey

This place we've been before
A ribbon hangs outside the door
So everybody knows it
There won't be any miracles today

The bed's all made
The room's all ready
All we had to do was bring you home

Going through the dark and we can hold on to your light
Wish that we could give you all this love we feel inside
Might not get to know you
But we'll see you every night
Cause you'll always be the brightest
Star up in the sky

Here in this empty hallway
Not a day's going by we won't think
About the person you'd become
And we will miss you always
Left with so much to say
To the one that got away

But you'll always be the brightest
Always be the brightest
Always be the brightest
Star up in the sky
Always be the brightest
Always be the brightest
Cause you'll always be the brightest
Star up in the sky
