I will remember you in the way you′d want me to

But it's hard to come to terms right now

Sunset looked today as if it knew you′d gone awayNow it's night, I hear the rain crash down

Oh, I'd cry, but this is more than just my pain

Oh, I should be a shoulder, not a burden

And it′s time for me to call your son again

And say

She was the starlight in darkness

She was the first bloom in spring

An angel with a smile like electric light

All the time hid her wings

She was the birdsong in morning

But now everything here has changed

All the world′s less beautiful

Since you've been away

I will remember you with white wine by the barbecue

On New York, at the birthday do, downtown

All that comes to mind when I think about that time

Is a memory of laughin′ out loud

Oh, I wish that I could take the pain away

And just talk to him in person

But it's time for me to call your son again

And say

She was the starlight in darkness

She was the first bloom in spring

An angel with a smile like electric light

All the time hid her wings

She was the birdsong in morning

But now everything here has changed

All the world′s less beautiful

Since you've been away

This doesn′t make sense

I wish I could change it, but I can't do anything

My heart is racing

And my soul is aching, lover

Well, she was the starlight in darkness

She was the first bloom in spring

An angel with a smile like electric light

All the time hid her wings

She was the birdsong in morning

But now everything here has changed

All the world's less beautiful

Since you′ve been away

The world′s less beautiful

Since you've been away
