When Your World Falls Down

In all my days I worry I have nothing to offer you Yet in such little time You became the only person That meant so much to me When you’re all out of charming things to say To where do the moments disappear Try not to stand out so much The things you learn as the days dismiss When the music can no longer hold me And your prayers can no longer lift me up This piano shields my ugly voice And when I fall asleep at night I can still see you there You should let me see the sun And if something should happen to me Well, I brought my hat and keys In loving memory of The voice of the ghost singing me asleep When your world comes falling down And you’re all out of charming things to say To where do the moments disappear Try not to stand out so much The things you learn as the days dismiss
