"We're Still Here" lyrics

Tom Paxton, Cathy Fink & Marcy Marxer Lyrics

"We're Still Here"

You're gone
I need time to take that in
I pick up the phone and just like that, you're gone
What now?
I'm still here with a life to live
One that always included you, but now you're gone

So, what's next?
I need to catch another breath
And hold the hands of friends who loved you too
Because we're here
And since we're here we must go on
We'll take you with us in our hearts, but we must go on

We're still here with work to do
With love to give and life to live
And your memory will not be left behind
We're still here with songs to sing
Songs of peace with sweet release
Thoughts of you who were the giving kind

Your love
Your love has left us stronger
Your smile was like a beacon in the night
There is peace
Peace beyond the grief and hardship
There is peace in holding close to your love

We're still here with work to do
With love to give and life to live
And your memory will not be left behind
We're still here with songs to sing
Songs of peace with sweet release
Thoughts of you who were the giving kind
Thoughts of you who were the giving kind
