It started that first day, when the whole world stood still Mama left me broken, and the ground beneath me sank away Then came the man who waited, who saw me as I was My grandpa always told me, “You are good just as you are” Every empty chair that stayed Every name I keep in silence Grief keeps weaving through my life Because that love ran deep and true I carry you with me, in the silence of the night A chain of memories, still waiting by my side How many pieces of my heart can I still lose? When life keeps choosing silence, time and time again? My grandma with her warm embrace, her face would light when she saw me My aunt who softly brushed my hair, I felt so safe beside her My uncle who could always tease me, my partner through it all One by one they disappeared, caught somewhere in the passing years I carry you with me, in the silence of the night A chain of memories, still waiting by my side How many pieces of my heart can I still lose? When life keeps choosing silence, time and time again? Five stars up in the sky, five voices that I know Five reasons why today, memories hold me close The ache of missing you still cuts me every day But I keep the love behind each look and every smile I carry you with me, in the silence of the night A chain of memories, still waiting by my side How many pieces of my heart can I still lose? When life keeps choosing silence, time and time again? No one forgotten... Still here with me I miss you... Every day
