Prompt / Lyrics
“Beside Your Bed” (Lyrics By Gerald Logan) ( Verse 1 ) I pull the chair close, just to hold your hand, The same one that guided me when I couldn’t stand. Your breathing is shallow, but your heart’s still strong, I whisper my thanks for the love all along. ( Verse 2 ) I see the old kitchen, Sunday afternoons, You’d hum those hymns while you cooked and I grew. Now the silence is heavy, but the memories sing, And I’d trade every tomorrow for one more spring. ( Chorus ) Beside your bed, I’m a child again, Waiting for your smile to come shining in. The strongest one I’ve ever known, Is teaching me how to let go. But God, it hurts… here beside your bed. ( Verse 3 ) Your Bible’s worn thin, the pages stained with tears, Every promise you clung to through all these years. You whisper “I’m ready, don’t be afraid,” But I break down, ‘cause I can’t bear this day. ( Chorus ) Beside your bed, I’m a child again, Waiting for your smile to come shining in. The strongest one I’ve ever known, Is teaching me how to let go. But God, it hurts… here beside your bed. ( Bridge ) I remember the stories, the lessons you gave, The prayers you whispered that still keep me safe. Now angels surround you, I swear I can hear, Heaven is closer than it’s ever been here. ( Chorus ) Beside your bed, I’m a child again, Clinging to the love that will never end. The strongest one I’ve ever known, Is finally finding their way home… And I’ll carry you, long after you’re gone. ( Outro ) I kiss your forehead, whisper “I love you,” And pray for the courage to walk life through. Though my heart breaks, my soul’s been fed… By every moment here, beside your bed.
