Music is My Soul

Astrid’s Song

These lyrics have a lot of personal meaning. They are written for my best friend Astrid after she passed away of lung cancer.

Did you know i thought of you today

The memories are on replay

the times we had seem far away

Has it been years or a few days

You know I remember near the end

When you thought you could pretend

but i could hear it in your voice

you giving up on life by choice

Your voice is all around me

your laughter fills the air

the burden of the past

is hard to bear

[chorus]

Im trying to stay strong

trying to hold on

but i feel so lost without you

helping me along

im crying because you’re gone

but i know that you’re still with me

by my side

so i keep going

even though im missing

my best friend

The pain was bursting through the seams

you were so tired that you let go of all your dreams

But i reached out to catch them as you lay

i couldn’t sit there and just watch them fade away

i can still hear your final words

i can stiill hear your final breath

You said “Eg skil ekki” said “i dont understand”

And i replied “Good night my friend”

Your voice is all around me

your laughter fills the air

the burden of the past

is hard to bear

Im trying to stay strong

trying to hold on

but i feel so lost without you

helping me along

im crying because you’re gone

but i know that you’re still with me

by my side

so i keep going

even though im missing

my best friend
