Eric John "Losing You" Original Losing a Loved One to Cancer Song

(Lyrics Below) I would also like to dedicate this song to Herl, a friend that I got to know through YouTube...he was a great guy & drummer. Herl the Pearl you will be missed

I wrote this song after my grandpa passed away from cancer. This is also a tribute to my grandma who passed away from many years of having alzheimer's and my other grandma who passed from cancer. This original song is in its first stage and I plan on recording it soon. I will post the process of this song on YouTube. Cancer and alzheimer's affects the lives of many people so I dedicate this song to all who have lost a loved one. Thank You for taking the time to listen to "Losing You", from my heart to yours, God Bless, Eric

"Losing You"

(Verse)

When you told me
You had troubles
You said then
What am I going to do?

Can you help me?
Understand this?
I want to hold you
And tell you I love you too

(Chorus)

My heart hurts
And feels so empty
Will your dreams all come true?
Will time stand before you?
I hate the thought
I hate the thought
Of losing you

(Verse)

The journey
Of this struggle
Made you stronger
And helped you understand

And the time has come
For you to leave me
Dont let go
Just hold my hand

(Repeat Chorus)

(Verse)

All alone
Am I dreaming?
These feelings
Can I feel like before?

The angels
Will keep watching
Look for the stars
Your really not that far

(Repeat Chorus)

(Bridge)

I know things will work out as planned
I know I will never never understand
I know that God holds your hand
I know we will see eachother again

My dad was diagnosed with cancer a few weeks ago and won't live past three months, this song reminds me so much of him. The way he came home and told us he was in trouble, and that he loved us, over and over and over again thats all he could say. That he loved us. He is so brave, and i pray I can help him pass peacefully. He is trying chemo with the hope that it will give him a few more months but only 5 percent find it worthy with this kind. lovely song!! : )

@QuiescentDreamer Thank you for taking the time to listen to my Losing You song. That is so sad what you wrote about your dad. My heart goes out to you and your family. I pray his chemo works for him. I am so sorry to hear all of this. I pray for a miracle that he gets well. Be strong and take care...

My uncle has been diagnosed with 2 cancers.

I do not know what should I do

I found this out 30 min ago and still I am in shock and don't know what to do

[BeckEhster]

songs a little boring and notes are a little flat. try and add a little solo/instrumental.

Thanks for the song Eric. I was only 10 years old and I still remember that day like it was yesterday and it's been 20 years since my mother passed away from cancer. Till this day it is the hardest thing to go through....
