[Intro – soft piano]
(piano only – male vocal quiet)
Some names stay in your heart
Long after the voice is gone
⸻
[Verse 1 – soft piano]
(piano continues – male vocal gentle)
I still walk past
The places we knew
Still hear your laugh
In the silence too
Some nights it feels
Like yesterday
Some nights it feels so far away
⸻
[Pre-Chorus – piano building slightly]
(piano continues, soft harmony)
(male vocal emotional)
Funny how memories
Never really leave
⸻
[Chorus – two piano notes only]
(two repeating piano notes – vulnerable male vocal)
You were close to me
Closer than words can say
You were part of every
Simple day
Time moves on
But I still see
The part of you
Still close to me
(soft harmony)
Close to me…
⸻
[Verse 2 – piano]
(piano gentle – male vocal reflective)
Old photographs
Still on the wall
Your favourite song
Still plays sometimes
And every moment
I wish you could see
The life that’s still ahead of me
⸻
[Pre-Chorus]
(piano slightly stronger)
(male vocal)
Maybe love like this
Never really fades
⸻
[Chorus – two piano notes]
(two repeating piano notes – emotional vocal)
You were close to me
Closer than words can say
You were part of every
Simple day
Time moves on
But I still see
The part of you
Still close to me
⸻
[Bridge – soft piano]
(piano gentle – falsetto harmony)
(male vocal)
And I hope somehow
You know I’m alright
But I still feel you
Every night
⸻
[Final Chorus – two piano notes]
(two piano notes repeating – vulnerable vocal)
You were close to me
Closer than words can say
Even now
Through all the change
Time moves on
But I believe
Your love stays
Close to me
⸻
[Outro – piano fading]
(piano fading)
Still close to me…
