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
