you are quickly growing older
the tops of your shelves are acquiring dust
the books that you've read pages turning yellow
the lampshades cracking give hint to the life you've made
The footprints on your wooden floorboards
the place where we met
is wearing away
comments on the page
cutouts of the news
of thoughts that you had
that we'll never lose
cause you live in my head
your words hold me captive
the little things you've said
your words hold me captive
you're living in my head
your words hold me captive
the little things you've said
your words hold me captive
everything that you said to me
holds a special place in my memory
I'll carry it on
even when you're gone
and the messages that you left for me
on the pages of the books that you read to me
I'll carry it on
even when you're gone
