(Verse 1)
Your picture’s still hanging where it’s always been
Sometimes I stop and talk to you again
There’s an empty chair nobody wants to move
And a thousand other things that remind me of you
An old song comes on that you used to love
And for a little while, somehow that’s enough
It’s funny what the heart can hear and see
When somebody you love becomes a memory
(Verse 2)
I caught myself saying what you used to say
And laughed when I realized why
For just a second it felt like you
Were standing right here by my side
Sometimes I wonder what you’d tell me
When I don’t know what to do
Then somewhere in the back of my mind
I swear I hear the answer coming through
(Chorus)
You’re gone, but you’re still all around me
In a thousand little things I never saw before
I hear your voice inside the words I’m saying
Feel your presence when I walk through your old front door
God may have taken you away from me
But He couldn’t put the love I have for you in the ground
I thought the day I lost you, you’d be gone forever
Funny how you’re still all around
(Bridge)
I used to think goodbye meant gone
That leaving meant the end
But love don’t disappear that easy
When it’s written deep within
Maybe heaven’s farther than I can see
But you’re never far from me
(Verse 3)
I see a little more of you in me
With every passing year
The way I laugh, the way I talk
The things I once didn’t hear
Maybe leaving doesn’t mean
That everything is gone
Maybe love just finds another way
Of carrying someone on
(Final Chorus)
You’re gone, but you’re still all around me
In a thousand little things I never saw before
I hear your voice inside the words I’m saying
Feel your presence when I walk through your old front door
God may have taken you away from me
But He couldn’t put the love I have for you in the ground
I thought the day I lost you, you’d be gone forever
But somehow you’re still all around
(Outro)
Yeah, I thought goodbye would put your memory in the ground
But everywhere I turn, you’re still all around
