lyrics

They could never replace you
With all the bright stars in the sky
There's no one who could come close
There's no one who could even try
The road is darker now you've past
But all the while your footsteps last
I'll tread the pattern of your shoe
They could never replace you.

They could never replace you
With endless riches from the sea
No gold brought from a distant shore
Could ever mean as much to me
As the simple things you did and said
I learned to follow where you led
To the gates of life, and watched you through
They could never replace you.

They could never replace you
So hide the sun and veil the earth
Take all the seconds out of time
Take creation out of birth
You've stopped the world, all movements gone
There's no song to move me on
It's missing now and so's the view
They could never replace you.
