Before You Go by Jessie Burner

Fading light, the hours slip away
I see your face in silver shades of gray
Words I saved, now rising to the sky
I can’t let you go, not without goodbye

Every moment, every breath
I’m learning how to love you best

Before you go, I’m holding on
Your memory lingers, it keeps me strong
Through the shadows, I finally know
I’m learning to love you, before you go

Echoed dreams, reflections in your eyes
Pieces of a life I never realized
The silence breaks, I whisper soft and slow
I should’ve said it sooner, but now you know

Every heartbeat, every sigh
I’m finding you before goodbye

Before you go, I’m holding on
Your memory lingers, it keeps me strong
Through the shadows, I finally know
I’m learning to love you, before you go

Bridge (dreamy / instrumental space)
Time is a river, it carries us fast
But love is the moment I know will last
​
Final Chorus (gentle, then building)
Before you go, I’m holding on
Your memory lingers, it keeps me strong
Through the shadows, I finally know
I’m learning to love you, before you go
