[Verse 1]
I'll only miss him when I think of him
And I'll think of him all the time
Likely I'll spend my days
Hearing his turn of phrase
Things I found hard to praise
Right now would seem sublime

[Verse 2]
The truth is I'll only miss him
When some stranger laughs
'Cause it's still his laugh my heart hears
Maybe in time, I guess
The longing will grow, the slightest bit less
And there will be moments, yes, when it disappears
I'll bet I'll forget him completely in about a hundred years
