Lyric

Your sweater’s still there on the chair

Just like you left it hanging there

Sometimes I feel you’ll walk right in

Like you just stepped out for a minute

Your scarf still hangs where you once placed

Silent on my old coat brace

It smells of you — that day we shared

The last one in our garden air

And I know you’re no longer here

But somehow, you stay near

What remains of you when day fades away?

A smile that drifts in the wind’s gentle sway

A song that softly begins to play

When your favorite movie starts that way

What remains of you — so much more than time

Your voice, your ways, your gaze so wide

I carry you in me every single day

Because love never really goes away

It just changes form when it stays

I talk to you when silence falls

Ask my questions, listen for calls

And sometimes I feel a gentle breeze —

Like you’re here again, just for a piece

Your last letter — I read it slow

Though I’ve memorized every row

Because every word you left to me

Burns deep inside my memory

And I feel you’re not really gone

Your place remains where I belong

What remains of you when the rain falls light?

A hint of sunshine in the quiet night

A “Remember when?” that flickers by

When all is still and no one’s nigh

What remains of you — stories in the light

Your laughter in photos, your favorite lines

I carry you in me every single day

Because love never truly fades away

It turns to memories that gently stay

I try to move forward, step by step

But sometimes I turn back, no regret

Not because I’m stuck in the past

But because I know where I came from at last

What remains of you when time slips by?

A feeling that quietly lives inside

A heartbeat that rests close to mine

When the world around falls still in time

What remains of you remains in me

As long as I breathe, you’ll always be

I carry you in me — day by day

Because love never fades away

It just grows silent and close in its way

(What remains… you remain… forever here…)
