about

I wrote this song for my cousin, Colton, and all the people who love him.

lyrics

If I ever knew you
I would have loved you
I would have loved you
You left too soon
You shouldn’t have had to run
We may never know why
We may never know why

When I love you now
I will love your mother
Your fathers and brothers
You will make us laugh even still

In the secret of the forest
Where the angels watch
In the Bitterroot Valley of home
His stardust will be reborn

Some flowers bloom only a day
The elusive species breathe briefly
Nature’s brilliance is fine
We must love it in her time
We may never know why
We may never know why

The bounty of time is only observed
We may never know why
We may never know why
We may never know why
We may never know

You left too soon
You shouldn’t have had to run
Now we watch for you
Between the moon and the sun

Twinkle twinkle little boy
Every smile spark of joy
Every morning light the day
Twinkle twinkle in your eyes
And your smile still lights the skies
And your smile still lights the sky
