Avicii

Lyrics

[INTRO]
Silent echoes of the night,
A DJ dancing in the light,
But shadows took you far away,
Oh, how I wish you could have stayed.

[VERSE 1]
In Stockholm town, the lights would gleam,
You spun our dreams, a wild dream,
But inside your heart, a battle raged,
A silent storm, a life unpaged.
Cuts from glass, a story untold,
Behind those beats, you felt so cold,
Did you know the love we felt?
Or was it too much to be dealt?

[CHORUS]
Oh Avicii, why’d you have to go?
A world in sorrow, a heart laid low,
With every note and every tear,
We’ll hold you close, we’ll keep you near.
In the silence, hear us cry,
We’ll find you when it’s time to fly.

[VERSE 2]
From eleven years, I've wondered and dreamed,
Of heaven’s gates and moonlit beams,
Will you be there to greet me, friend?
In a symphony that won’t ever end.
The headphones soft, a sweet embrace,
A reminder of your gentle grace,
I wish I could have held your pain,
Or turned the skies back to blue again.

[CHORUS]
Oh Avicii, why’d you have to go?
A world in sorrow, a heart laid low,
With every note and every tear,
We’ll hold you close, we’ll keep you near.
In the silence, hear us cry,
We’ll find you when it’s time to fly.

[BRIDGE]
Now every song holds a part of you,
Every beat, a piece of the truth,
You illuminated our darkest nights,
But you were lost in your own fights.
Can you feel the love we send?
A song for every heart you mend.

[CHORUS]
Oh Avicii, why’d you have to go?
A world in sorrow, a heart laid low,
With every note and every tear,
We’ll hold you close, we’ll keep you near.
In the silence, hear us cry,
We’ll find you when it’s time to fly.

[OUTRO]
So take this melody high above,
A tribute wrapped in all our love,
In heaven's light, together we'll
