You're Still Here Songtext
von Ende Chen

The wind brushed green through the willow trees
Flickered the candlelight softly
You came by
Left a trace of gentle fragrance
Dripping through the hours of time

Life is fragile, never stays the same
Endless longing still won′t burn away
Scattered on the ground — this quiet pain
You came by, carrying sparks of hope
Leaving one brief, shining moment

You said you're still here
Saying goodbye to a distant tomorrow
Goodbye to dreams that refuse to be bound
You said you still want
The sun that rises in the morning
You believe the road ahead is long


I wish
Your stage could stretch even wider
Your voice could rise even higher
Your path could go on much farther
So sorrow wouldn′t feel so heavy anymore

Life is fragile, never stays the same
Endless longing falls like quiet rain
You came by with blessings from all directions
Leaving a name time can't erase

You said you're still here
Feeling birdsong, breathing flowers
Savoring the beauty of being alive
You said you still want
To return to your mother′s arms
To sing the songs you knew as a child

I wish
To watch you slowly grow old
To see generations fill your home
To see you shaped by time
Living gently, safely, whole


I wish
You came by
I wish
That none of this
Had ever happened
