I still remember the airport scenery
Filled with hopes and dreams
Laughter stood in the place of misery
Unbeknownst to what’s coming
We boarded the plane together
Held by our love, a golden feather
I remember the promise I made to you
I’ll be with you forever
Oh, but God had other plans in mind
Turbulence struck as we took flight
My world crumbled at the sight
Of a box vanishing into the earth
Oh how cruel the days were
Stuck in torment, chained by pain
I still remember the days
Before you left this plane
Now the silence deafens my ears
Your laughter echoes so clear
The lights are out, bound by fear
What will happen now that you aren’t near?
I plead to God, wishing this was a dream
That I’ll wake up, you’ll be here with me
Oh how cruel to be in this pain
What’s the point of living anyway?
