lyrics

Rain falls softly from on high
You were a beacon, while alive
Your music inspired, as it soared,
A source of strength, it did afford

It’s funny how, a simple tune
Can brighten a day, and scatter the gloom
Heighten your mood, lighten your feet
Release your mind, good feelings keep

The business indeed, had let you down
Sheister lawyer, manager clown
Greed rampant, upon youth naïve
It was too much, you had to leave

Ain’t it funny how, a gentle soul
Can get worn down, leave a gaping hole
A resilient smile, is hard to fake
When trust is shattered, like crystal you break
Chorus:
Where are you now?
Where are you now?
Where are you now?

Hard to believe, some get the gift of song
You had it in spades, you had it strong
It seems the brightest stars, well they burn fast
They don’t burn long, and they won’t last

I choose to believe, you’re still around
I perceive, in the rapture of sound
And in the colors of summer, and the fragrance of spring
In the texture of love, and what the harvest brings.

Chorus

I choose to believe, you’re still around
I perceive, in the rapture of sound
And in the colors of summer, and the fragrance of spring
In the texture of love, and what the harvest brings.
