Salt Lake City Rain

I wanted to share this song for anyone who has suffered the loss of a child, or faces the reality of terminal illness. This song was written about a special little boy named Gavin. You can find more about his story here.




Song & Lyrics by Ryan Tanner

Love of my heart, why must we part?
I said a prayer on a heavenly start
Give me this day shoulders of strength
To carry the burden of time taken away

I woke last night to a voice in the hall
I heard you calling my name
I rushed to meet you, found nothing at all
All I could hear was the Salt Lake City rain

Love of my heart, where do I start
To patch up the pieces of the old-fashioned heart?
When will it turn, what lessons could we learn?
I'll be counting the days 'til the sun will return

I woke last night to a voice in the hall
Thought I heard you calling my name
I rushed to meet you, found nothing at all
All that I heard was the Salt Lake City rain
