    LYRICS :
    I don't think I could sing this song to you
    Hold my lips and power through
    Think about a different day
    I don't think I could do this without tears
    Pick a moment, fly the years
    What will there be left to say?
    Oh my life is a song for you
    Oh my life is a song for you
    I don't think I could hide you in my mind
    All those questions left behind
    Answers in forgotten dreams
    I don't think I could lead it like you lead
    Read the books that you once read
    Back in other lives
    Oh you would hate this to be sad
    The moments we've had
    And I've just found out that life is a goddamn miracle
    And the ending is a song
    And there are a life time of words that I could say
    But I've got none
    I don't think I could love you any more
    Take a minute feel it soar
    I have got this till I'm gone
    And if there is a light that tumbles through
    How could it just not be you?
    Hiding in the sun
    Oh you would hate this to be sad
    The moments we've had
    And I've just found out that life is a goddamn miracle
    And the ending is a song
    And there are a life time of words that I could say
    But I've got none
    I don't think I could sing this song to you
    Hold my lips and power through
    Think about a different day
    Oh my life is a song for you
    Oh my life is a song for you

      I have never had this intense beautiful feeling in my chest before until this night after discovering your song from the Netflix series Virgin River, went down a wormhole of listening to your music, and I think I just died and was resurrected in spirit by how moved I feel. This song in particular. This song deserves to be a goddamn classic praised and played for centuries to come! The movement it causes in ones soul is beyond words, just like your emotions were when writing this song as your lyrics imply. Thank you so so much for creating such powerful music. You’re a wonderful artist! Thank you again!

    what strikes me about life is that it's so much more universal than we wanna make it out to be. it's so much more complicated but so much easier than we believe, and in the end we were all written in the same nihilistic ink. what holds us together is a shared awareness for beauty and for love, and this song radiates both. thank you so much tom.

    I’ve just had like the most beautiful summer romance and now he’s gone and away, no longer loving me. That made me so sad. But this song truly reflects my feelings and makes me feel stronger and gives me energy to remember the beautiful moments that we’ve had together and remember that life is a goddamn miracle.

    With all the bad news out there at this time in history, it's absolutely refreshing to get an invitation to hear this amazing heartfelt song from you, Tom. So sorry for your loss. Your dad had to be so proud of a son like you. I am so honoured to be a part of your community of loving and caring people.

    This made me cry when you sang this in the Zonnehuis in Amsterdam, and is making me cry now too. It's a gorgeous song which brings me to the core of sadness (sorry to your dad, he didn't want this to be sad), happiness, relief, grief and hope all at once. Thank you so much for sharing such a personal piece. Hope you and your family are well. Lots of love.

    Tom, thank you for continuing to write the songs we don’t even realise we need until you float them into our ears and hearts 💙 My mum is an only child and so am I - we’re in the midst of what will be the last few months of my Granny’s life, and it’s bringing back all the memories of the long goodbye to my Granda in the same hospital six years ago. In the end, all we can do is sing on for them as best we can 🎶

I had too little time with him and I can't wait to see him again :(
