[Verse] I built a house of dreams with hands so proud Watched you grow Your laughter was so loud But now these walls echo with silence deep Alicia My heart aches when I try to sleep [Chorus] Alicia Your name's a song I softly cry I reach for you beneath the empty sky The world has stolen what was meant to stay Alicia My love won't fade away [Verse 2] Your picture's worn It's folded at the seams I hold it tight and live within my dreams Your tiny hand I swear I still can feel But the distance now is a wound that won't heal [Chorus] Alicia Your name's a song I softly cry I reach for you beneath the empty sky The world has stolen what was meant to stay Alicia My love won't fade away [Bridge] They said it was for you But they don’t see The tears that fall when you're not here with me I count the days I beg I plead I pray To hold you close To take this pain away [Chorus] Alicia Your name's a song I softly cry I reach for you beneath the empty sky The world has stolen what was meant to stay Alicia My love won't fade away
