So beautiful. I lost my mother 6 years ago and this reminds me of how I would sleep lying next to her holding her hand while she was sick with cancer. I would give anything to lay next to her and hold her hand one more time.

No words can explain The way Im missing you Deny this emptiness This hole that Im inside These tears They tell their own story Told me not to cry when you were gone But the feelings overwhelming, its much too strong Can I lay by your side? Next to you, you And make sure youre alright Ill take care of you I dont want to be here if I cant be with you tonight Im reaching out to you Can you hear my call? This hurt that Ive been through Im missing you, missing you like crazy You told me not to cry when you were gone But the feelings overwhelming its much too strong Can I lay by your side?

[@jordiw705]

This is amazing. I love the emotion you poured into your singing. Your dad is proud of you whever he is. Love you xx

[@HeatherSommerMusic]

Absolutely flawless. I'm so sorry for your loss

[@shilabachelor326]

You are a beautiful human being, you did an awesome job, gave me chills, my grandparents died a month a part in sept and oct. my grandma went first, and while they were both very ill, my grandpa could not live without her, so I'm convinced he died of a broken heart, this song reminds me of them so much, my grandparents were like the movie "the notebook" soul mates. and your version of this song is my new favorite and I dedicate it to my grandparents, Waldfred and Gloria Barber, Rest in peace, we love and miss you, xoxo.

[@mangosweet11]
