That Whistle

(for Dad 🖤) [Verse] Before I'd hit the bottom stair, Already knew if I'd find you there. A familiar whistle to reassure- The world is right; the house secure. The sound, much like the morning light, Chasing away shadows of the night. [Pre-Chorus] But since you've been gone, The world's lost its song [Chorus] That whistle said never fear. All is well, because I'm here. As it faded, my heart knew, My mind was screaming - it can't be true! it can't be true. But my heart, it knew. I fear I can't hear the music without you. [Verse] You were the sunlight and life in the day. Your absence echoes a haunting refrain. Sometimes I'll think I hear you still, I wonder if I always will. Listen close, with bated breath- Never was a believer... Not till you left. [Chorus] That whistle said never fear. All is well, because I'm here. As it faded, my heart knew, My mind was screaming - it can't be true! it can't be true. But my heart, it knew. I fear I can't hear the music without you. [Bridge] Maybe in my dreams you'll sing to me. Yours is a face I'm dying to see. As long as I breathe, come what may I’ll carry your tune; every day. For your melody runs in my veins, Love becomes an endless refrain. [Chorus] That whistle said never fear. All is well, because I'm here. As it faded, my heart knew, My mind was screaming - it can't be true! it can't be true. But my heart, it knew- [Outro] Not sure if I'm really a believer, But a shred of hope persists. A hope you're out there whistling away, That some piece of you still exists (Lyrics Written by ParanoidAndroid)
