Lyric

Empty space where laughter used to bloom

Just echoes now inside this hollow room

A photograph, a ghost of yesterday

Trying hard to find a brighter way

Eight years old, her hand slips into mine

Two lonely souls beneath the same sunshine

We build a fort of pillows, tall and grand

Trying to understand, trying to understand

And the days keep rollin', like a summer breeze

Washing away the hurt beneath the trees

A little spark ignites, a flicker in the gray

Finding strength to face a brand new day

Met her at the office, bright and full of grace

A friendly smile that lights up every space

She plays with my daughter, sunshine in her hair

A memory flickers, a love I used to share

Three ice cream cones, sticky summer smiles

Walking hand-in-hand for miles and miles

A family picture, blurry and unplanned

Helping me to understand, helping me to understand

And the days keep rollin', like a summer breeze

Washing away the hurt beneath the trees

A little spark ignites, a flicker in the gray

Finding strength to face a brand new day

The past is a whisper, a lesson learned in pain

But life keeps moving forward, like sunshine after rain

I see her in my daughter, a piece of what's been lost

A second chance to love, whatever the future cost

And the days keep rollin', like a summer breeze

Washing away the hurt beneath the trees

A little spark ignites, a flicker in the gray

Finding strength to face a brand new day
