Song for my friend

When you're young, there are details you don't pay much attention to... but the older you get, the more you realise that many dear friends have left you in the meantime, and the more things go on, the more numerous these absences become.
Some time ago, I discovered this song... I liked the rhythm, the melody and the singer's soft voice. I soon wanted to know what the lyrics were about and who the song was for.
I was immediately moved by the song, because it reminded me of so many moments spent with one of my friends during the last days of his life, difficult moments, unforgettable moments that are engraved in my memory.
So, if this kind of situation has happened to you, perhaps listening to this melody and these lyrics will help you to remember your departed friend and the last moments you spent with him...
Weeping Willow - Let Go
Lyrics
I hold your dying hand in mine
I understand there's nothing I can do
But I'll try my best to comfort you
You look so peaceful, there's no more pain
Was that a smile when I whispered your name
I know the time has come for you to leave
And give into the force of the disease
We're all just passing through into the past
Fading footprints in a sea of sand
We have our hearts and souls
Something's we cannot hold, we have to let go
When you're gone, where you were still stays
'Cause through me your spirit will remain
I'm grateful for this chance to say goodbye
And to be here when you fly into the light
We're all just passing through into the past
Fading footprints in a sea of sand
We have our hearts and souls
Something's we cannot hold, we have to let go
We're all going places we never thought we'd go
There's a scheme of things it's not for us to know
It's not for us to know
We're all just passing through into the past
Fading footprints in a sea of sand
We have our hearts and souls
Something's we cannot hold, we have to let go
We'll have to let go
Just let it go
