Winter's Last Sleep

[Intro] [Wind], soft strings fade in [Verse: Intimate] We walked through springs when grass was green and young We counted summer stars that fell at dawn Autumn painted all our walls in gold and rust Now winter breathes its quiet on my dust [Pre-Chorus: Soft] My breath grows thin, my hands grow cold But I hold your love more dear than gold [Chorus: Emotional] [Hook: Emotional]Take my heart, it's yours to keep With all the love you gave to me I'll close my eyes beneath the snow And let the quiet winter grow [Verse: Intimate] You held my hand through every breaking storm You gave me days when I thought hope was gone I have no words to say how much you gave I only have this love I leave to save [Pre-Chorus: Soft] My voice grows faint, my time runs low But your warm love will still grow [Chorus: Emotional] [Hook: Emotional]Take my heart, it's yours to keep With all the love you gave to me I leave my memory in your care Beneath the frozen winter air [Bridge: Vulnerable] I'm not afraid of the dark that waits outside I'm just sad to leave the warmth you provide Every season we shared was a gift from you Every breath I took was because you knew That I was worth fighting for, worth holding near Now I leave my love with you, to keep it here [Instrumental Break] soft acoustic guitar and piano [Chorus: Expansive] [Hook: Emotional]Take my heart, it's yours to keep All the love you gave to me I'll sleep in peace beneath the snow Your love will warm me when I go I'll wake no more in spring's soft light But my love will live in your quiet life [Outro: Fading] [Wind] I'll see you when the seasons turn again ...soft strings fade to silence...
