Something for Sam (1999)

Verse 1

I open the blinds to let in the light

And I know that today will be just fine

The room feels incredibly numb

Like the walls never spoken a word

But I feel traces of memories

That will never go unheard

Like how I would dream

About the best of my life

With kids and a wife

A smart one you’d like

Like sunlight through the clouds

You said we should bless

Others with much less

With love they’ll surely never forget

I felt you in spring

All the way through the fall

I believed that to be true

But now it’s so hard because I miss you

I hear the music of dawn

That you sing in a way

That somehow only I can hear

So loud and so clearly

Chorus

And you never say anything

Verse 2

You don’t make a sound but your voice is alive

In everything surrounding me

Enduring these days

When heaven feels insane

It doesn’t feel right that I’m doing alright

And that time moves on with no end

Is there really a plan

And nothing ever felt so wrong

I carry on but I’ve lost so much

That I can’t even tell when I've won

Pre-Chorus

I’ve been in pain for so long

Maybe my heart will grow strong

To keep living and keep moving on and

Open my heart to every word you say

Chorus

And you never say anything

Outro

I close the blinds and tell you goodnight

And I know that everything’s fine

But it will never be just right
