[Verse]
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 would say, "I believe in you"
That was music to my ears

[Chorus]
Oh each words like a note, like a beautiful tune
The kind that inspires and helps you get through
Well, if I said I can't, he'd say you can
He was my toughest critic or my biggest fan
Now he's gone to a distant shore
And I can't hear the music anymore

[Verse]
Sometimes late at night
I forget that he's not lyin' next to me
He may be out of sight
But out of mind 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
[Chorus]
Oh each words like a note, like a beautiful tune
The kind that inspires and helps you get through
Well, if I said I can't, he'd say you can
He was my toughest critic or my biggest fan
Now he's gone to a distant shore
And I can't hear the music anymore

[Outro]
I can't hear the music
