Can’t Help Falling in Love

By Morgan Bratch

I’ll never forget the day I walked in the door, 

Elvis playing and family’s tears falling on the floor 

My dad walks over the saddest he has ever been 

I have a feeling I will never see Papa again 

Dad pulls me in with a hug that stays 

He takes a deep breath saying, your Papa died today. 

His voice breaks with tears in his eyes 

All I think is we never said our goodbyes 

I walk upstairs with a frozen face 

I never thought he’d leave this place 

I keep the belief that he is watching me from above 

The music is still playing in my head 

Elvis: Can’t Help Falling in Love
