Like magnolias and lilacs in Texas
They don't stay around very long
Their essence is easily recalled
When you hear a certain song
These are such rare ones to find
Or maybe they were looking for you
Drawn into their life like a beacon
For a week a month or a year or two
Such an impression is rarely made
So deeply it touches you to make it last
Like molten lava poured into your soul
An ache when they dissolve into the past
Forward we go to embrace what is yet to be
Striving to build our own happy lives
Keep going to keep going each day
Doing good in the world of deep dives
Never kick yourself for who you once were
Revel in whom you are and what lies in store
Gift the same to others to be free from the past
Knowing they also don't live there anymore
Today I'm missing so many someone's so much
Bringing up tears from my heart and my eyes
Steady steady girl you know you've got this
Whether you think not or you realize
There's still more to do in my little life
Still shooting for the stars and the moon
Like lilacs in Texas in the spring
Like Michael Jackson gone too soon
