A frozen rain fell from the sky pressing leaves against the ground
And a bitter chill that rode the wind sent shivers through the town
You walked these hills and wondered how you’d face another day
Not knowing what was on her mind the night she slipped away

A slow parade of those who cared, all shared a brief embrace
and whispered words in silent prayer to reaffirm your faith
their memories of long ago, can never make things right
but the love of all who knew her well, can be your guiding light

Close your eyes Babette - see her smile
and she’ll hear every word that you long to say
hold her close Babette - to your heart
like a flower that blossoms, then soon wilts away

The day will come when all is clear, no secrets to expose
and the truth will solve this mystery of poetry and prose
when gardens bloom in afternoon, to glow in evening’s light
a falling star will cut the sky and the moon will warm the night

Close your eyes Babette - see her smile
and she’ll hear every word that you long to say
hold her close Babette - to your heart
like a flower that blossoms, then soon wilts away
like a flower that blossoms, then soon wilts away
