Impossible - JJ Heller

My daughter has a best friend

Who’s about to move away

And it kills me as a mother

To see her feel this kind of pain

This is her first great loss

But it won’t be her last

I cannot make it stop

And so I say

I know you wish there was a way

To slow the hands of time

But when you truly love someone

You never say goodbye

'Cause they’re woven in the fabric

Of the person you’ve become

It is impossible

Impossible to lose

The ones you love

My grandpa’s name is Henry

And Audrey was his wife

After 50 years together

She was still the love of his whole life

Before her final breath

She reached and took his hand

He bowed to kiss her head

And heard her say

I know you wish there was a way

To slow the hands of time

But when you truly love someone

You never say goodbye

'Cause they’re woven in the fabric

Of the person you’ve become

It is impossible

Impossible to lose

The ones you love

I know the winds of change will blow again

I feel it in my heart, I know it in my head

And though I can’t avoid the road that lies ahead

I choose these words instead

Even though there’s not a way

To slow the hands of time

When you truly love someone

You never say goodbye

'Cause they’re woven in the fabric

Of the person you’ve become

It is impossible

Impossible to lose

It is impossible

Impossible to lose

The ones you love

The ones you love
