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'd say
"I believe in you"
That was music to my ears
Oh, each word's like a note
Like a beautiful tune
The kind that inspires
And helps you get through
Oh, if I said I can't
He'd say, "You can"
He was my toughest critic
Or 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 lying
Next to me
He may be out of sight
But out of mind 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 word's like a note
Like a beautiful tune
The kind that inspires
And helps you get through
Oh, if I said I can't
He'd say, "You can"
He was my toughest critic
Or my biggest fan
Now he's gone to a distant shore
Oh, and I can't hear the music anymore
I can't hear the music
