When All Else Fails


About this Song

In many ways this is the song that started it all. The first one I recorded and started me on the path to believing in myself as a singer-songwriter. It came from a place of deep grief after experiencing a loss that rocked my world. The process of creating and recording this song was an important part of my healing journey. Since its release, I have heard from many people about how this song has helped them on their own grief journeys. It will forever hold a special place in my heart, as will the people who helped me bring it to life in a recording. You know who you are!


Lyrics

I trail my fingers across the chair… where you used to sit

I walk through the rooms where we were together, trying to come to grips

With you not here


My tears start falling without any warning, my day turns dull gray

There’s a familiar ache with every breath I take, I seem to have lost my way


I need a tomorrow not drowning in sorrow with a few less tears

Show me the way how to get through each day without you here

I have to believe


Chorus

We’re connected

Through time and space

Wherever I go, I’ll see your face right beside me

Sending me joy from above

Because wherever you are and wherever I am

When all else fails there is love


Yours was a life lived large and joyful, without regret

And oh I want to live like that, but damn I’m not ready yet


One thing’s for sure, I love you more,

with each passing day

And truly I know that love still grows even though you’re far away

‘Cause I believe


Chorus

Bridge

Head in hands, I’m on the knife edge of despair

I have to believe even though you are not there that


Chorus
