Story behind the song

this song took me several years to finally finish writing...i feel it helped me process the "letting go" part and of finding a place of closure.

Lyrics

DEAR NANNY

it’s been five long years 
i think it’s high time i find 
closure for the sadness 
the oceans of tears
i’m still coming to terms with 
the loneliness of feeling your absence 
i’ve got all these memories that 
no one in the world but you 
can remember with me

CHORUS
there’s been a sense of loss 
in your passing 
there’s been an aching in my heart 
from missing you 
but, there’s a real comfort in the knowing 
i’ll see you on the other side 
there i trust we’ll find
all the years of lost time 

thank you, nanny
for all the stories you shared with me 
late nights till early mornings
laughing, crying 
thank you for the way you heard me
you loved me, you saw me 
still remember the way i felt 
like i’d hung the moon
right there in your living room 

(CHORUS)

BRIDGE
so i’ll loose my hands
of this fear of being abandoned 
you did not leave me 
you simply went home 
and who doesn’t want to go home 

(CHORUS)

so much about you i never knew 
so much time i never had 
so much i’d like to tell you now
but, i trust you already know somehow
