Your Melody Lives On

Lyrics

[Verse 1] Morning light on an empty chair, Coffee cooling, but you're not there. Forty-three years we walked this road, Two hearts carrying one shared load. Then softly, in the quiet air, I still feel you everywhere. [Chorus] Oh James, you were grace, A gentle smile, a tender face. The love of my life, the song we sung, Sweet harmony where our home begun. Though sixteen years have come and gone, Your melody keeps living on. [Verse 2] You'd tease me till I had to laugh, Working hard, you gave your half. We raised up four beneath our roof, And every day, your love was proof. A duet turned into a choir, Our children lifting voices higher. [Chorus] Oh James, you were grace, A gentle smile, a tender face. The love of my life, the song we sung, Sweet harmony where our home begun. Though sixteen years have come and gone, Your melody keeps living on. [Bridge] Not goodbye, but see you soon, Beneath that same forgiving moon. A legacy in every child, Your quiet strength, your loving smile. [Verse 3] Now I sing the parts we shared, Feeling how you always cared. This is not an end, my dear, Just a new beginning here. The song goes on, the love stays true, And every note still leads to you. [Chorus] Oh James, you were grace, A gentle smile, a tender face. The love of my life, the song we sung, Sweet harmony where our home begun. Though sixteen years have come and gone, Your melody keeps living on. [Outro] Rest now, love, your work is done, I'll hum our song beneath the sun.
