I Can't Hear the Music Lyrics

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 said, "I believe in you"
It was music to my ears
Oh, each word's like a note, like a beautiful tune
The kind that inspires and helps me get through
Ah, if I said I can't, he's say, "You can"
He was my toughest critic, ah, my biggest fan
Now he's gone to a distant shore
And I can't hear the music anymore
Sometimes late at night
I forget that he's not lyin' next to me
He may be out of sight
But out of mine 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
Oh, each word's like a note, like a beautiful tune
The kind that inspires and helps me get through
Ah, if I said I can't, he's say, "You can"
He was my toughest critic, ah, my biggest fan
Now he's gone to a distant shore
And I can't hear the music anymore
I can't hear the music
