 Watch: New Singing Lesson Videos Can Make Anyone A Great Singer

A woman my age, sittin’ here cryin’ 
I oughta be stronger than I am 
Oughta take comfort in wisdom or something like that 
But it isn’t that way, ‘cause sooner or later 
I’m still that nervous 9th grader 
Watching you pull us together, I never knew how 

And since you’ve been gone I’m just fallin’ apart 
There’s a hole in my life, in my soul, in my heart 
And I stare out this window till light becomes dark 
And there’s nothing that’s touching me now 

But not to complain, we’re just bereft, not deserted 
Lord knows you’re rest was deserved 
It’s just your absence is present in all that I do 
In the sun in the field, in the poem I keep saying 
In the hymn that some church bells were playing 
You have always been part of them but I never knew 

How could I ever begin to say? 
Surely you already knew 
What is this world with you gone away? 
How can this finally be true?
