He was my toughest critic, ah, my biggest fan
Now he's gone to a distant shore
He always told me the truth
The kind that inspires and helps me get through
Oh, each word's like a note, like a beautiful tune
When he said, "I love you, baby"
That was music to my ears
Ah, if I said I can't, he's say, "You can"
I forget that he's not lyin' next to me
He may be out of sight
Oh, each word's like a note, like a beautiful tune
And I can't hear the music anymore
Now he's gone to a distant shore
God knows he wasn't perfect
The kind that inspires and helps me get through
It was music to my ears
Are still ringing out loud and clear
No matter how hard it was to hear
And I can't hear the music anymore
Sometimes late at night
Ah, but then, again, nobody is
He was my toughest critic, ah, my biggest fan
Ah, if I said I can't, he's say, "You can"
But out of mine is something he won't ever be
When he said, "I believe in you"
Things that he said to me
