Verse 1
In Paris they exchanged vows once again,
A church filled with echoes, where love once began.
Susan surprised, with tears in her eyes,
Dave’s heart was her home, her sweetest surprise.
Verse 2
Two months later Dave’s doctor called,
You have 6 weeks to live, that is all.
With courage unshaken, Dave carried the weight,
For Susan, his love, he trusted in fate.
Chorus
The power of Dave’s love, it never lets go,
Through laughter and tears, it continues to grow.
A whisper, a memory, a hand from above,
The world still shines with the power of love.
Verse 3
His brother was fading, the same bitter fight,
Two candles burning, both dimming to night.
But Dave chose to smile, with a joke and a song,
A love like his keeps the weary heart strong.
Verse 4
On his last birthday, we gathered with cake,
He laughed and he teased with the wishes he’d make.
“Very short books,” he said with a grin,
Still finding the joy, though the end closed in.
Chorus
The power of Dave’s love, it never lets go,
Through laughter and tears, it continues to grow.
A whisper, a memory, a hand from above,
The world still shines with the power of love.
Verse 5
One week from goodbye, he called out to Sue,
“I’ve paid off the house—it belongs to you.”
For Susan, his anchor, he gave all he had,
A gift of forever, through good times and bad.
Verse 6
And after he left, she discovered his notes,
Little papered whispers in closets and coats.
“Move on, spend the money, I’ll love you always,”
Words left behind for her loneliest days.
Chorus
The power of Dave’s love, it never lets go,
Through laughter and tears, it continues to grow.
A whisper, a memory, a hand from above,
The world still shines with the power of love.
Verse 7
Years may have passed, but his spirit remains,
In laughter, in kindness, in love unchained.
For Susan still feels him in each gentle sign,
The power of Dave’s love will never decline.
Chorus (Final)
The power of Dave’s love, it never lets go,
Through laughter and tears, it continues to grow.
A whisper, a memory, a hand from above,
The world still shines with the power of love.
