Louder Than The Sky

Verse

I held your finger yesterday

You said the night would go away

I closed my eyes, I fell asleep

Morning came… you didn’t speak

Your chair is quiet, coat still there

Mommy cries in whispered prayers

They say you live above the blue

But I still look for you

Pre-chorus

I’m small but my heart is wide

Got a million tears inside

If heaven’s really far from me

I’ll sing across eternity

Chorus

So hear me louder than the sky

I’m your little lullaby

Every note is me holding tight

To the love you left behind

Don’t be lonely where you are

I will be your shining star

Close your eyes, don’t say goodbye

Hear me… louder than the sky

Verse

Your guitar sleeps next to my bed

I hug the hat you always wore instead

They say angels need a song

So I’m trying to be strong

I practiced words you used to say

“Music never goes away”

If echoes travel through the night

Then you’re hearing me tonight

Pre-chorus

I’m scared but I’m standing tall

‘Cause you told me not to fall

If love can reach the other side

I’ll send it with this lullaby

Chorus

So hear me louder than the sky

I’m your little lullaby

Every note is me holding tight

To the love you left behind

Don’t be lonely where you are

I will be your shining star

Close your eyes, don’t say goodbye

Hear me… louder than the sky

Bridge

If clouds are your stage tonight

I hope the lights are warm and bright

Save a seat and wait for me

Someday we will harmonize

Chorus

Hear me louder than the sky

I won’t let your music die

Every tear becomes a light

Guiding me through every night

Till I see you once again

I will sing and just pretend

You can hear me when I cry…

Grandpa… I’m singing… goodbye.
