The Light We Left Behind - Original Song

Hello all, I hope you all had a good Christmas and are enjoying the New Year. This is my latest song, it is about retrospection with the benefit of greater wisdom after a sad experience. I hope you like it.

Lyrics:

Why do I smile when I think of you?
Why don't I cry like I should do?
Why do I feel this happiness now?
When for so long, I was buried deep down?

I could not sleep and I could not eat
You saw me fall and beg at your feet
A lonely storm on a high mountain top
Where the wind and the rain could talk
But we could not

I've heard of such things before
When two stars, will collide,
They find themselves flying together
For a while, and then notice they're drifting apart

Why do I laugh when I dream of you?
Why don't I cry like I used to do?
Why do I feel more like myself?
When for so long, I was somebody else?

I've heard of such things before,
When two stars, will collide,
They find themselves flying together
For a while, and then notice they're drifting apart

But we can look at the light we left behind
We can look at the light we left behind

I'm sure I've heard this before, but I don't see a comment.

The bass rounds things out nicely. I love the melody on "flying together".

This has all the usual Duncan factors - great lyrics, strong emotional delivery, fabulous piano. The stars drifting and light left behind are great joint images. I'm really impressed with this one.
