I wrote this song a few months ago when a dear friend and fellow musician, Scott Wells, passed away. My heart goes out to his family and friends, and if you knew Scott and have found your way to this video, I hope you find comfort in listening to it.
"Love the Ones You Love"
Written by Jemima Bourne
Verse 1
All the songs you will not sing
All the ones left suffering your loss
There's a void in the air
A wise man, you once said to me
This world around us is just a dream
Don't forget that you're temporary
Chorus:
And love the ones you love
One day that opening will close
And you'll be glad for the minutes and the moments down here
Grateful for every single short year that you had
And wish they were longer
Verse 2
So sing the songs you long to sing
Tell the ones you love what they mean
It's not late; I'm the void in the air
I feel your grief, I can see you cry
I wish you knew your hand's in mine, even now
And I'm not leaving
Chorus 2:
So love the ones you love
One day your eyes will close
And you'll be glad for the minutes and the moments down here
Grateful for every single short year that you had
And wish they were longer
To love the ones you love
One day I will hold you close
And we'll be glad for the minutes and the moments here
Grateful for every single year that we have
And wish they were longer
I already wish they were longer
