Bubby, Bubby, seventy-five years strong, Your love keeps us where we belong, A star that shines with warmth so bright, Happy birthday to you tonight!

She’s finally withered away Enough time had passed Fading in ocean’s gray I am unburdened at last. It is a better escape Finding calm in a new her She takes the pains away I don’t know how real they ever were. Ma cherie, a beam of light. I feel her heartbeat so bright. We lay and fit together so right. I only wish she could stay the night. Echoes of anguish from just next door. Make us stiffen, somewhat scared, unsure. The public foe, my closest friend. Did her death signify my morals’ end?

**"Goodbye for now, my dear friend, What a ride it’s been, but this isn’t the end. We laughed till we cried, made memories that shine, But the road calls us now, it's our time to unwind. So wave that hand, let's make it a cheer, No tears for tomorrow, just hold on near. See you down the line, where new dreams blend, This isn’t goodbye; it’s 'til we meet again!'"*

[Verse] Oh Bree you're glowing there's a light in your eyes A brand-new adventure a sweet surprise The world feels warmer the skies are clear With every heartbeat whispering a new cheer [Verse 2] Bree’s got a secret that's starting to show A little miracle starting to grow Tiny fingers tiny toes taking shape In a world of wonder we all celebrate [Chorus] Let's sing for Bree and her little one-to-be A joy that's bigger than the vastest sea A tiny heartbeat that's making us smile Oh Bree's little miracle so worthwhile [Verse 3] The days may seem long but the love is so strong Every kick a reminder that it won’t be long Until we hold that bundle of joy Bree’s little miracle girl or boy [Bridge] No more waiting it's time to embrace A new life journey at such a stunning pace The nights may be sleepless but hearts are full Every moment with Bree is so beautiful [Verse 4] Lullabies and laughter fill the air With every step Bree we’ll be there Through the ups and downs through thick and thin Bree and her miracle our hearts will win

**Chorus** In silence, gratitude lingers, unspoken, For your sacrifices, our bond stays unbroken. You gave me your all, though I couldn’t see, In every small gesture, you believed in me. **Verse 1** Through shadows of doubt, you were there to guide, Molding my spirit, filling me with pride. Though miles may lie between our hearts so true, In the echoes of struggle, it’s always been you. **Chorus** In silence, gratitude lingers, unspoken, For your sacrifices, our bond stays unbroken. You gave me your all, though I couldn’t see, In every small gesture, you believed in me. **Verse 2** The burdens you carried, the tears left unseen, One day, my promise, I’ll fulfill your dream. With every step forward, I’ll honor your fight, Chasing the stars, I’ll reach for that light. **Bridge** For all that you gave, each sacrifice made, I’ll carve out a future where dreams will cascade. Your selfless devotion, a beacon so bright, I’ll rise to your challenge, igniting the night. **Chorus** In silence, gratitude lingers, unspoken, For your sacrifices, our bond stays unbroken. You gave me your all, though I couldn’t see, In every small gesture, you believed in me. **Outro** Together we stand, in this life’s grand parade, With love as our armor, our fears will just fade. So here’s to the journey, with you by my side, In the depths of my heart, you’ll always reside.

[Verse] Night falls, shadows creep, eyes wide open, but I can't sleep Echoes of silence, in a mind deep, emotions buried, secrets to keep Heart heavy, dragging me down, drowning sorrows, ready to weep Streetlights flicker, hope feels weak, darkness whispers, secrets seep [Verse 2] Smoke fills the air, lungs tight, vision blurry, can't see the light Lost in the maze, endless night, battling demons, losing the fight Pills on the counter, temptation’s might, knocking on the door, fright Voices loud, mind in flight, grasping sanity, holding tight [Chorus] Fall in the shadows, no escape, life's a battle, tangled tape Mind's warzone, soul's landscape, scars hidden, silently gape Tears dried up, memories reshape, fear lurking, form of a drape Hope's in ashes, fragile shape, heart locked tight, thrown away the cape [Verse 3] Mirror reflection, stranger's stare, empty eyes, vacant glare Smile’s gone, hollow affair, soul searching, empty chair Past mistakes, heavy fare, future uncertain, full of despair Promises broken, love rare, haunting whispers, echo in the air [Bridge] Lost in thoughts, mind on fire, broken dreams, shattered desire Numb to pain, truth’s a liar, sanity teetering, walking wire Coping methods, dark attire, hopeless whispers, fuel the pyre Drowning sorrows, stress for hire, darkness takes me, soul's a crier [Chorus] Fall in the shadows, no escape, life's a battle, tangled tape Mind's warzone, soul's landscape, scars hidden, silently gape Tears dried up, memories reshape, fear lurking, form of a drape Hope's in ashes, fragile shape, heart locked tight, thrown away the cape

(Verse 1) It began on a blood-soaked Michaelmas night, I was the most hurting foot doctor in sight, He was the most poppy foot patient I'd ever known, And I swear I never felt so alone. He was my Kelky, My poppy Kelky, My foot patient, We bled so well together, back then. (Pre-Chorus) We wanted to walk around the world, We wanted it all, we wanted to be bold, But that night... oh that night... We walked too much, and it felt so right. (Chorus) Oh, my Kelky, my poppy foot, You showed me things I never understood, You bled, you cried, you felt the pain, But I stood by you, in the blood and rain. Oh no, oh no, oh Kelky, don't you see? You’re still in my thoughts, you’ll always be. But that night changed us, we bled and we prayed, Oh, Kelky, my foot patient, the price we paid. (Verse 2) We showed her your foot, the college nurse, It was in pain, oh, it was cursed, From that moment, you began to change, A diseased foot, rearranged. Oh, how we bled together, Took the world and made it weather, But when you showed him your foot Fred, I saw the worry in your eyes, filled with dread. (Pre-Chorus) The next day, I thought I had broken my toe, My foot was on fire, but it was just a show, Overreacting a little, but still the fear, Your foot, your foot, it’s all so near. (Chorus) Oh, my Kelky, my poppy foot, You showed me things I never understood, You bled, you cried, you felt the pain, But I stood by you, in the blood and rain. Oh no, oh no, oh Kelky, don't you see? You’re still in my thoughts, you’ll always be. But that night changed us, we bled and we prayed, Oh, Kelky, my foot patient, the price we paid. (Bridge) I think of you on those dark nights, When my toe aches and my heart still fights, The blood-soaked Michaelmas night, When we walked too far, and everything felt right. But your foot, your foot Fred... It’s the shadow that haunts my head. (Chorus) Oh, my Kelky, my poppy foot, You showed me things I never understood, You bled, you cried, you felt the pain, But I stood by you, in the blood and rain. Oh no, oh no, oh Kelky, don't you see? You’re still in my thoughts, you’ll always be. But that night changed us, we bled and we prayed, Oh, Kelky, my foot patient, the price we paid. (Outro) My toe… ouch! When I think of that poppy foot patient, Oh, Kelky… my Kelky...

I pick up my phone, hoping you’ve replied, but there’s only silence. I look at your pictures as I smile and remember you The minutes have passed turn in to hours, baby where are you? Please Rewind me to the time we kissed on every step we passed Please Rewind me to each of our very own kisses in the past To the thousand Love you we told each other before we left Please rewind me Please rewind me Rewind me to the nights we made love until our bodies gave in To the mornings that began with your touch, your skin against my skin. Please Rewind me to the time we kissed on every step we passed Please Rewind me to each of our very own kisses in the past To the thousand Love you we told each other before we left But this time I'm not gonna leave

In the crack of the pavement where roots try to grow, In the hum of the city, where no one will know, There's a pattern, a rhythm that slips through the seams, Like a shadow that lingers in half-faded dreams.
