The night is long, the stars are cold
Stories fade that once were told
Every light begins to dim
Since the day you’re gone from him
Every room still feels the same
Every breath still says your name
Even time can’t wash away
All the things you didn’t say
After you’re gone, I remain
In the rhythm of the rain
Every sigh, a melody
Of the love you left in me
Empty cup and untouched chair
Echo softly, you’re not there
Every sound the silence makes
Is the shape my heart still takes
Dreams replay, but never change
Sweet and close, yet out of range
Every dawn begins to show
All the things I’ll never know
After you’re gone, shadows stay
Turning night to silver gray
Every tear, a gentle sea
Sailing where your heart used to be
Maybe love was just a spark
That still glows inside the dark
Even though the flame is gone
Its warmth will still live on
After you’re gone, I still see
Every place you’ve been to me
In the hush of early dawn
Love still sings — after you’re gone
