about

Death is imperfect. You never get to say goodbye in the way you would like. Very rarely do we get life changing words of advice from a deathbed. As such, this song is pure fantasy and comfort. However, if you listen carefully, it also contains all the secrets of a happy life.

lyrics

My grandfather lies under white cotton sheets.
Through cloudy blue eyes he stared down at his feet.
He said he could feel the sun on his face.
But there's rain on the window, he's in some other place.

I can hear my soul, he says, tears in his eyes.
Such a beautiful thing, I will say no goodbyes.
Live out your life, follow your heart.
Say that each day is a brand new start.

Tell her you love her, be true to yourself.
Work for your passion and not for their wealth.
Go through the world with truth and with grace.
And remember the feel of the sun on your face.

I can hear my soul.
This is not goodbye.

He closes his eyes and breathes out his last.
I sit and I watch the rain slide down the glass.
Lost in the tide of a memory's embrace.
I remember the feel of the sun on my face.

My grandfather lay under white cotton sheets.
Through cloudy blue eyes he stared down at his feet.
He said he could feel the sun on his face.
But there's rain on the window, he's in some other place.

I can hear my soul.
This is not goodbye.
