@billwhite51 I know words cannot take away the pain of your loss. I hope you will find some solace in music.

Lyrics

Bill's house is quiet for a while
The porch swing moves with the breeze
Where Kelly used to sit and smile
Now just memories and fallen leaves

Oh Bill, my friend, the road is long
Yet you don’t walk alone
Kelly’s love still lingers on
Though she has journeyed home

Still setting two plates for dinner
Old habits are hard to break
Bill stares at Kelly's empty chair
As dawn begins to wake

Oh Bill, my friend, the road is long
Yet you don’t walk alone
Kelly’s love still lingers on
Though she has journeyed home

They say time heals all wounds
But some cuts run very deep
It's good to still hear Bill's sounds
He sings while his guitar weeps

Oh Bill, my friend, the road is long
Yet you don’t walk alone
Kelly’s love still lingers on
Though she has journeyed home

And the stars shine bright somehow
Kelly's in her dreamworld now

This is wonderful. The specifics make it universal, which is a good lesson for us lyricists. Excellent music and delivery. The best of songwriting.

Wow. Really impressive playing, singing, arranging and writing. I love this to bits and it's really kind of you to do something for @billwhite51 , who is so generous in sharing his big heart, discerning ears and graceful words with this community which would not be the same without him. This is so good that now I have to go and see what else you've done here, because I bet it will be amazing.

thank you from my heart for this gorgeous song. it is the greatest gift. your guitar is brilliant, your words brinf tears to my eyes just as the soothe my heart, and your singing is always a joy. some pain is so deep that you dont want it to go away. sometimes you dont want the wounds to be healed, because as long as i suffer her loss, the longer she is still alive inside me. everry thought i have of her brings sadness, but that sadness is simply the absense of the joy she gave me, and i never want to lose that. and thank you again for putting a piece of music into the world that immortalizes her life that was too brief.

Lovely in every sense. The lead guitar parts are incredibly tasteful and additive to the song.
