I Can't Hear the Music

He showed me there was more to me

When I thought I had nothing else to give

God knows he wasn't perfect,

Ah but then, again, nobody is

He always told me the truth

No matter how hard it was to hear

When he said "I believe in you"

It was music to my ears

Oh each words like a note

Like a beautiful tune

The kind that inspires

And helps me get through

Ah if I said I can't

He's say you can

He was my toughest critic

Ah, my biggest fan

Now he's gone to a distant shore

And I can't hear the music, anymore

Sometimes late at night

I forget that he's not lyin next to me

He may be out of sight

But out of mine is something he won't ever be

Things that he said to me are still ringing out loud and clear

When he said, "I love you baby" that was music to my ears

Oh each words like a note

Like a beautiful tune

The kind that inspires

And helps me get through

Ah if I said I can't

He's say you can

He was my toughest critic

Ah, my biggest fan

Now he's gone to a distant shore

And I can't hear the music, anymore

I can't hear the music
