about

This is a song about my mother, whom I lost in August of 2016. This song, is for her. I miss you dearly with all of my heart, with every waking moment and every sleeping one- I'm missing you and thinking about you- forever and always loving you until we meet again. 2468.

lyrics

Purple was the color, of the hummers float around.
Your flowers, falling under the shade they'd found.

I never thought about, when you'd be gone.
I never saw purple so blue.
It's so blue without you.

The sun shinning down, on the roses at your house,
I remember the colors, I remember the sounds.

I never thought about, when you'd be gone.
I never saw purple so blue.
I'm so blue without you.

The sound, of the love,
that you gave so freely,
with the colors of my mother, was the color of your heart,
was the color of your soul.
