[Intro]

[Gentle acoustic guitar strumming, soft piano chords]

[Verse 1]

Shimmering waters and daffodils,

Drown out memories of winter chills.

With each new spring life starts anew,

Reminding me when I fell in love with you.

[Verse 2]

This is where we made our pledge,

When we first met by the water’s edge.

My kite had fallen from the air,

You sat by the brook combing your hair.

[Verse 3]

So young we were, so struck by love,

Falling hopelessly, not needing a shove.

Everything so perfect on that beautiful day,

Hearts beating as one in a magical way.

[Chorus] [powerful male vocals, intensive climax]

Now I sit and reflect, here all alone,

With you in heaven, already gone.

The years we had were precious but few,

It should have been me, and never you.

[instrumental] [symphonic tunes]

[Verse 4]

Your life cut short, that fateful day,

A choice I made took you away.

I stayed for drinks, ignored my role,

Left you to drive, and it cost your soul.

[Verse 5]

I miss your laugh, your tender touch,

The way your smile warmed me so much.

Our midnight talks, your hand in mine,

Now just a memory, lost to time.

[Verse 6]

But I’ll raise our Bobby, strong and true,

Teach him the love I learned from you.

Your heart, your grace, he’ll always know,

In every step, your light will show.

[Bridge]

By this brook, I feel you near,

Whispering love through every tear.

Though guilt’s a weight I can’t undo,

I’ll live for Bobby, and honor you.

[Chorus] [powerful male vocals, intensive climax]

Now I sit and reflect, here all alone,

With you in heaven, already gone.

The years we had were precious but few,

It should have been me, and never you.

[symphonic tunes]

[Outro] [intensive climax]

By this brook, I’ll keep you near,

Loving you always, through every tear.
