The Human Family Band - 'Love Lights'

Jim had lucid moment though dementia had taken hold,
in a care home unworthy of its name he sat frail and old,
news had come over Susie lay dying in bed, doctors tried,
lost that fight that **** cancer spread

in the darkest night a light burns so bright it’s a love so strong
it goes on these bonds don’t break there solid and true in troubled times let love lights guide you through

Pulling on slippers tightening a dressing gown ,in the early hours without sight he slipped out those grounds, with something more than blood pumping through his veins, Jim walked empty streets in that pouring rain

in the darkest night a light burns so bright it’s a love so strong
it goes on these bonds don’t break there solid and true in troubled times let love lights guide you through

a hundred old love letters a box of photographs
six kids eight dogs a billion belly laughs

they found her in the morning locked in Jimmy’s arms
life had gone but love lives on you can feel it in the heart
look at a picture closer you might see something in their eyes it
belongs to you and me

in the darkest night a light burns so bright it’s a love so strong
it goes on these bonds don’t break there solid and true in troubled times let love lights guide you through
