[Intro -soft whisper ]
There’s a chair in the corner,
A story in the grain,
A little bit of someone’s heart
Still whispering their name.
A wooden bowl with golden lines,
A bench beneath the sky,
Some things never really leave us…
They just learn a different way to shine.
[Verse 1]
I met a man with weathered hands,
Soul to soul instantly new we met befor in a different life .
They called him grumps, but I saw the soul
That was buried underneath the haze.
He built his dreams from pieces of wood,
Turned simple things into art,
But the greatest thing he ever made
Was the love he left in our hearts.
[Pre-Chorus]
And he said, OA-“You’re my angel,”
But he never knew he was mine,
A little piece of heaven
Walking through my life.
[Chorus]
When I’m gone, don’t look for me
Only in the sky,
Look inside the things I made,
The songs I left behind.
Every word, every melody,
Every piece my hands have touched,
Is a little proof I was here…
And I loved this life so dear.
I’m not gone, I’m not lost,
I’m just living in the memories,
In the love, in the stories,
In the pieces I leave behind.
In all the songs I wrote
about my life that I never told.
[Verse 2]
I remember the sunlight on his face,
The day he felt alive
A fresh haircut and a brighter smile ,his energy didn't lie.
For a moment he felt like him self again.
He wanted his hair like mine,
Wrap in a ponytail. Just to feel alive. He would put his red gnome hat on his head that his wife made for him .
Wearing it proudly. Such a beautiful soul.
We laughed about those little things,
Funny how the smallest moments
Become the biggest memories.
[Chorus]
When I’m gone, don’t look for me
Only in the sky,
Look inside the things I made,
The songs I left behind.
Every word, every melody,
Every piece my hands have touched,
Is a little proof I was here…
And I loved this life so dear.
I’m not gone, I’m not lost,
I’m just living in the memories,
In the love, in the stories,
In the pieces I leave behind.
In all the songs I wrote
about my life that I never told.
[Bridge-freestyle rap]
We are more than our endings,
More than the battles we fight,
We are every hand we held,
Every soul we made feel alright.
So if someday my voice gets quiet,
And my footsteps fade from view,
Play my song's and feel my heart…
I’ll still be there with you.
[Chorus]
When I’m gone, don’t look for me
Only in the sky,
Look inside the things I made,
The songs I left behind.
Every word, every melody,
Every piece my hands have touched,
Is a little proof I was here…
And I loved this life so dear.
I’m not gone, I’m not lost,
I’m just living in the memories,
In the love, in the stories,
In the pieces I leave behind.
In all the songs I wrote
about my life that I never told.
[Outro]
When I’m gone, don’t cry for me
Just remember what I gave,
I was a dreamer, I was a builder,
I was a soul that came to create.
Like the wood beneath his fingers,
Like the gold inside that bowl,
I’ll leave a little piece of me
For the world to hold.
