Your words can often fail to sell
The nuance of emotions you try to speak so well
Your actions are to speak louder than your words
But somehow all the doing, doing, doing just don’t take away the hurt
They won’t remember everything you did
They won’t remember everything you said
But their heart it won’t forget and they’ll always remember
How you made them feel
You know your smile can cut right through the thickest heart
It can’t take away a lousy day but it’s a heck of a good start
It’s not the cards that you send or the money that you lend or the standard response
It’s the sharing of the silences, the dropping of the differences, and forgiveness
How you made them feel, the unmistakable light in your eyes
How you made it real, everything a little larger than life
How you made them feel so strong
When their weakened little heart couldn’t go on
It’s the slowing down and listening to a heart that speaks from honesty
It’s part of the great emancipation, disassociation from the separate lives we lead
Because the essence of the question, isn’t it all about connection, the mark we leave
Because long after you’re gone, your feeling lives on and on and on and on and on
They won’t remember everything you did
They won’t remember everything you said
But their heart it won’t forget and they’ll always remember
How you made them feel
