From the recording Pet Loss & Love That Remains
Lyrics
[Verse 1]
I kept your bowl and blanket in the sunlight place,
Your collar made a quiet ring that brushed my face.
I dusted off the window where you watched the blue,
And asked the morning softly what it wants me to do.
[Pre-Chorus]
The heart is not a cupboard with a single key,
It opens where it’s broken and it sets me free.
[Chorus]
I am making room for the new,
Keeping every light of you.
Love keeps widening the view,
I can hold the old and welcome something true.
I am making room for the new,
With your blessing shining through.
[Verse 2]
I walk the block we loved and let the sidewalk know,
Your footsteps live inside me everywhere I go.
A small dog passes by and lifts a curious gaze,
I feel a gentle yes float up inside the haze.
[Pre-Chorus]
The open door is tender, but it feels like you,
A whisper in my breathing saying go on through.
[Chorus]
I am making room for the new,
Keeping every light of you.
Love keeps widening the view,
I can hold the old and welcome something true.
I am making room for the new,
With your blessing shining through.
[Bridge]
If rain begins its tapping on the glass today,
I’ll set a little rainbow there to light the way.
[Chorus]
I am making room for the new,
Keeping every light of you,
Love keeps widening the view,
I can hold the old and welcome something true.
I am making room for the new,
With your blessing shining through.
Take my hand, lead me through,
I am making room for the new.
[Outro]
With your love, I’m making room for the new.
