When You’re Not Around

musical text:
Woke up this morning, sun barely shining,
Coffee on the stove, my heart's still pining.
Empty chair at our old kitchen table,
Your absence hits me harder than I’m able.

Fields are quiet, no laughter in the breeze,
Just the silence of the rustling trees.
Every sound here echoes the same,
This old heart whispers your name.

When you’re not around, the world feels empty,
Everywhere I look, there’s a piece of memory.
Your touch, your voice, the love we found,
Life just doesn't sing when you’re not around.

Driving down these rugged backroads,
Memories flood, I’m trying to hold.
Each mile marker, like a chapter read,
But the story’s missing, now that you’ve fled.

Stars still twinkle in the midnight sky,
But they don’t shine as bright since our goodbye.
Moonlight’s cold where it used to be warm,
This old town’s quiet after the storm.

When you’re not around, the world feels empty,
Everywhere I look, there’s a piece of memory.
Your touch, your voice, the love we found,
Life just doesn't sing when you’re not around.
