Painted Legacy

[Verse 1]
You can't go yet
There's so much left unsaid I need to say
You don't know it
But you made me who I am today

[Pre-Chorus]
Do you remember when you had to learn to braid our hair?
It was a mess but you made the best of what was there

[Verse 2]
You can't go yet
I wanna tell you how the girls have been
And they don't know yet
I need to call them, how do I begin?

[Pre-Chorus]
What would I do to try to make them understand?
I wonder if you'd pretend you'd flown to Neverland

[Chorus]
The way you painted legacy
Brings alive my memories
Of how you spun pure gold out of the dust
I can't bare to see you go
Somewhere far where I can't follow
Oh, but I'll hold them how you held us
Close and safe and unafraid of love
And that's enough

[Verse 3]
I still see you
Smiling back at me, your blue eyes clear
And I will see you
In my memory and in the mirror

[Pre-Chorus]
Your easy laughter lighting up across my face
Your heart and mine are tied and that will never change

[Chorus]
The way you painted legacy
Brings alive my memories
Of how you spun pure gold out of the dust
I can't bare to see you go
Somewhere far where I can't follow
Oh, but I'll hold them how you held us
Close and safe and unafraid of love
And that's enough

[Outro]
As the softest sunset colours fade into the green sky
I will always want just one more day to list the reasons why
You will always be mine, you will always be mine
And that's enough
