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 word's 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 word's 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
