Lyrics

Still Part of Me Yves Stilmant © 2025
[Verse 1a]
I packed a dream inside one bag
Left my old street and my dad
The sky looked wide, the road was long
But I believed I could belong
[Verse 1b]
Now I've got kids who call this home
They've never walked where I come from
But in my voice, there's something there
A little dust from foreign air
[Pre-Chorus]
And every time they ask me why
There's a teardrop in my smile
[Chorus]
You're still part of me
Though oceans lie between our feet
I see your face in quiet nights
In stories I still hold too tight
Cousin Sandra, you were gold
In my heart, you still feel close
Time moved on, but faithfully
You're still part of me
[Verse 2a]
We all grew up in scattered ways
Different lands, but hearts the same
Your kids, my kids -- they're grown and strong
Still, I hear your laugh in every song
[Verse 2b]
You raised your world, I built my own
But some roots never feel like gone
The porch light's dim, but I still see
The way you used to talk to me
[Pre-Chorus]
And every mile fades when I
Close my eyes and live that life
[Chorus]
You're still part of me
Though oceans lie between our feet
I see your face in quiet nights
In stories I still hold too tight
Cousin Sandra, you were gold
In my heart, you still feel close
Time moved on, but faithfully
You're still part of me
[Bridge]
Someday soon or in a dream
We'll sit again beside that stream
No goodbyes, just you and me
Where love rewrites geography
[Final Chorus]
You're still part of me
Even when the years run deep
No border breaks what we believe
You live in every breath I breathe
Cousin Sandra, through it all
I still hear you when I fall
Time moved on, but faithfully
You're still part of me
