Song for Alexander
Lyrics by D.B. Pacini ©

Verse 1:
Today I saw a young man give his anger up and smile
Today I heard the laughter of a little child
Today I smelled blossoms on a cherry tree
At least a dozen times today, I felt you walk with me

Chorus:
Alexander, I don’t live without you
I don’t cry with despair
Alexander, all I ever need to do
Is look around me (to see) your love is everywhere

Verse 2:
Today the sun rose in the sky, chasing night away
Today I heard inside my head things you used to say
Today this beat-up world kept turning, life carried on
At least a dozen times today, I forgot you’re gone

Verse 3:
Today I grew a little older, got a few more gray hairs
Breathed a little harder, when I climbed a flight of stairs
Today I sat a little longer with a cuppa Tupelo honey tea
At least a dozen times today, I felt you embrace me

Chorus:
Alexander, I don’t live without you
I don’t cry with despair
Alexander, all I ever need to do
Is look around me (to see) your love is everywhere
