Irreplaceable

(Lyrics & music by Rick Springfield)

God it took my breath away,
nothing I could say would've
made you stay

Life moved on anyway as my
wings were shot away
I knew you'd find the peace
you earned
And the true release you
yearned for
You drew your masterpiece
and I learned
How beautiful you are

You're Irreplaceable to me
Inerasable and I see
We are breakable when we fall
You're Irreplaceable in my soul
The sun will rise and
morning breaks
As the world awakes without you

Your spirit shines tonight
Blazing like a neon light
Love gives me second sight
I see your signs they're clear
and bright
I'll find you in the great unknown
Where angels celebrate
you home
And standing at the gate, alone
I'll be reaching for your hand

You're Irreplaceable to me
Inerasable and I see
We are breakable when we fall
You're Irreplaceable in my soul

Yeah I miss you most of these
days, at moon-rising
sun-downing
But the pain comes in these
waves. And tonight I'm drowning

You're Irreplaceable to me
Inerasable and I see
We are breakable when we fall
You're Irreplaceable in my soul

The sun will rise and
morning breaks
As the world awakes without you

According to US

This is such a beautiful photo of Rick's Mum. I remember reading somewhere that he said it was very early in the morning and they had to catch a flight back to the U.S. after visiting her in Australia. Rick snapped the photo as they were leaving. It seems so appropriate for the beautiful song that he wrote to honor her memory.

The sun will rise and morning breaks
As the world awakes without you

Your spirit shines tonight
Blazing like a neon light
