I look our mom , her world’s been turned to dust She lost her baby, and it ain't no use to fussShe’s broken into pieces that I cannot put back right Just a mother missing her son in the quiet of the night.And Grandma’s sitting steady, staring at the floor Like a mother who had to close her little boy's door.They say time heals everything, but I don't see how With the silence in this house, and the empty space right now.There’s a hollow in the center of the table where you used to sitSomething’s always missing, and we’re trying to deal with it Our lives completely shifted since the day you went away But you’re never truly gone, even when we have to say That you’re gone forever, but you’re always right hereIn the tears we’re crying, and the love we hold so dear.I see our little brother, his heart is broken wide He walks around so empty, with nowhere left to hide He lost his big protector, the one who led the way And he doesn't have the words to say exactly how he's frayed.It’s like the colors faded from the summer into fall Since you packed up your laughter and answered the last call.Even Uncle's life is different, nothing looks the sameI hear the heartbreak in his voice when he speaks your name A sudden road we never thought we’d have to walk down Just wandering in the grief of this quiet, empty town.But every single one of us is linked by your Embrace learning how to live without the sunshine of your face. Feeling There’s a hollow in the center of the table where you used to sitSomething’s always missing, and we’re trying to deal with it Our lives completely shifted since the day you went Away but you’re never truly gone, even when we have to Say that you’re gone forever, but you’re always right hereIn the tears we’re crying, and the love we hold so dear.Gone forever, but never gone.We’ll keep your memory living on.In Mama’s heart, and my brother’s eyes,We’ll see you in the quiet skies.You’re gone forever... but never gone.
