about

This is a song about loss. Ironically, I wrote this song before my mom was diagnosed with terminal cancer, but it has become a song I associate with her. The original inspiration came from my friend Lenise’s
comment about losing someone you love when she said, “You never get over it. You just change”. Shortly thereafter I witnessed the passing of a wonderful dog I knew, and the song was born.

lyrics

Gratefully
(words & music by Nicolette Aubourg © 2003)

I’m changed forever,
I’m helpless:
I saw the sweet surrender
in your final breath.

Take away my weakness
with your newfound strength.
Take away my sadness
with your peacefulness.

And in time, if I let go,
forgive me if I stop to grieve.
You know that there will always be
a part of you inside me.
I’m changed forever -
I’m changed forever,
gratefully.

I need a sign from you -
something that I can feel.
I need a hundred reasons
this was meant to be.

And in time, if I let go,
forgive me if I stop to grieve.
You know that there will always be
a part of you inside me.
I’m changed forever -
I’m changed forever,
gratefully, gratefully, gratefully.
