[Intro] (Low, woody Grand Piano melody begins... slow and sparse.) [Verse 1] Yeah… another day came… didn’t hear her sound… No call, no card… she’s not around… Voice stayed quiet… ’til it faded away. I Guess being alone… is the price I’ll pay… Night lights glow… in somebody else’s home… I sit in the dark… learnin’ how to be alone… No one stops in… the sun fades from view… A day comes and goes… like a ghost passing through. [Chorus] When she needed me… I was right there… Droppin’ everything… because I care… Through every storm… I stood tall… And picked her up… when she would fall… I gave my heart… and it wouldn’t break… Every single time… she made a mistake… She’s now gone… I can see… She’s up in heaven… watchin’ over me… [Verse 2] When she left… I was all alone… In my house… and on my own… There’s an empty chair… where she used to be… Is this just a dream… or a memory… I tried to understand… tried to let her go… But silence gets loud… when it’s all you know… It was always love… I now can see… It was always her… watchin’ over me… [Chorus] When she needed me… I was right there… Droppin’ everything… because I care… Through every storm… I stood tall… And picked her up… when she would fall… I gave my heart… and it wouldn’t break… Every single time… she made a mistake… She’s now gone… I can see… She’s up in heaven… watchin’ over me… [Bridge] Maybe I’m a fool… maybe I’m to blame… I’m still holdin’ on… I have no shame… Tryin’ to fill a space… that she left behind… Her heart was too big… and her soul too kind… [Final Chorus] Silence is louder… it’s what I fear… One day I won’t… pick up that call… Won’t be there… can’t help at all… But tonight I sit… with this truth I see… She was everything… I could never be… [Outro] No “Hello”… No “Goodbye”… Just my quiet silence… ’til the day I die… [Ending] (Final sustain: Hit a deep, resonant Grand Piano chord.)
