lyrics

I'd rather be here than out there in the quiet and the calm
Where dreams and memories float together
Making this our home
I'd rather be here than out there where it's still and where it's warm
There are days when I can brave the cold
But today is not one

This room still smells like last night's dinner, yummy and filled with love
And your chair still has your imprint gently weighing on my heart
And though you are not here, I shall carry you with me
Because you are home, my love, and home I'd rather be

Lay silent right next to me
Stay quiet so I can hear you breathe

Be here with me
Stay close to me
Be home with me
