When I was 5, that's when you died My mother told me I'd never see you again All I remember is that I didn't want her to see me To see me crying, so I said: "Don't worry mama you're still young and so beautiful You will find someone to love and to cherish you" I'll never forget how she looked laying in her bed With thousands of people outside saying give peace a chance.
I would do anything for one conversation with you Even to walk down the street with you would be so cool Seems like the whole world had more time with you than I did
But the dead don't speak, they listen.
I was alone almost everyday Felt like my mother was always away All that I knew of you was what people told me Though I remember the scar on your chin and The sound of your voice everytime that you said goodnight Your favorite TV show was Jekyll and Hyde And that you played the piano, well now so do I Every note that I play goes up to the sky.
I would do anything for one conversation with you Even to walk down the street with you would be so cool Seems like the whole world had more time with you than I did
But the dead don't speak, they listen. The dead don't speak... They listen.
