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 [Chorus:] Oh each words 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 [Chorus] I can't hear the music
