[Verse 1] When you left, the house grew larger And my world grew small Your chair, your throne, remained Your favorite plate remained Only you were gone I still reach for a hand That is no longer there I still turn to tell you something And meet the silence [Chorus] They say love survives death Then why does it hurt? Why do I wake with your name? My love, my peace, my home How can a heart go on When the reason it beats is gone? How can I go on? How can I go on? [Verse 2] You carried so much sorrow Yet you became kindness You walked through darkness Yet you became light And now I’m left With the cruelest gift A lifetime of loving you And no lifetime left to love you in [Bridge] I speak to the stars I speak to the wind I speak to the silence Where your voice once lived If there is mercy Beyond this broken world Wait for me Wait for me [Final Chorus] So I speak to the stars I speak to the wind I speak to the silence Where your voice once lived If there is mercy Beyond this broken world Wait for me Because every day without you Is one day too long And every beat in my chest Still says your name
