LYRICS:

The whole world is saying their goodbye

I'm here saying my first hello

It seems that I'm the last one in line

Last to learn that in your words I am home

To learn a secret everyone already knows

I didn't know that you'd speak to my soul

By the time that I became aware

The wolves were howling in your halls

And the doctors were already there

One more fan writing one song more

But all the greatest words have all been said before

They carry on your legacy

I'll light a flame for you, but in the grander scheme

I know I'm just another name you never knew

I just wanted to know - would you let me carry you too?

Could I help carry you?

All the stars way up in the sky

All the prettiest places in the world

Send lonely thoughts running through my mind

Wrapped in longing that I feel you'd understand

And I wonder if you could have been my friend

Could I have seen beyond your name

in another time, another place?

Better late than never they say

But Neverland has shut its gates

And I'm just one more fan singing one song more

But all the greatest notes, well, they've all been sung before

They carry on your legacy

I'll light a flame for you, but in the grander scheme

I know I'm just another name you never knew

I just wanted to know - would you still let me carry you?

Could I help carry you?

I know I'm late, but would you, would you?

Still let me carry you?

I know I'm just another name

you never knew, but can I carry you?

Although you never knew me, somehow I feel that I know you

Now you're just another part of me... am I another part of you?

You left behind a legacy in the people you live through

Is there a place for me among the ones who carry you?

Love,

Your newest fan, Leanne
