After You're Gone
The first time I got lost was in November
I didn't know I missed you
'Til I found your empty chair
I thought of all the times I can't remember
The times that you were with me
But I didn't see you there
A stone dropped into water makes a ripple
The stone sinks to the bottom but the ripple carries on
I know I can't explain life's many riddles
But I still feel you with me
Long after you're gone
Last night I stared out into the darkness
And I picked out the star
That looked the most like you
Tonight I looked again and couldn't find it
I guess while life kept moving
The stars were moving, too
A stone dropped into water makes a ripple
The stone sinks to the bottom but the ripple carries on
I know I can't explain life's many riddles
But I still feel you near me
Long after you're gone
Now I'm sitting in the room you lived and died in
I'm trying to make music
With the things you left behind
Late at night it's you I still confide in
Tell me, am I reaching
Or are you sending me a sign?
A stone dropped into water makes a ripple
The stone sinks to the bottom but the ripple carries on
I know I can't explain life's many riddles
But I still feel you love me
Long after you're gone
Oh, I still feel you love me
Long after you're gone
I didn't know I missed you
'Til I found your empty chair
I thought of all the times I can't remember
The times that you were with me
But I didn't see you there
A stone dropped into water makes a ripple
The stone sinks to the bottom but the ripple carries on
I know I can't explain life's many riddles
But I still feel you with me
Long after you're gone
Last night I stared out into the darkness
And I picked out the star
That looked the most like you
Tonight I looked again and couldn't find it
I guess while life kept moving
The stars were moving, too
A stone dropped into water makes a ripple
The stone sinks to the bottom but the ripple carries on
I know I can't explain life's many riddles
But I still feel you near me
Long after you're gone
Now I'm sitting in the room you lived and died in
I'm trying to make music
With the things you left behind
Late at night it's you I still confide in
Tell me, am I reaching
Or are you sending me a sign?
A stone dropped into water makes a ripple
The stone sinks to the bottom but the ripple carries on
I know I can't explain life's many riddles
But I still feel you love me
Long after you're gone
Oh, I still feel you love me
Long after you're gone
