[Verse 1]
The wrinkles on your face
I don't see them
Hairs fall out of place
I don't see them
The birthdays that you missed
And the kisses you resist
Many others clench their fists
But I don't see them
[Pre-Chorus 1]
I don't see a single thing
Not the names or mud they sling
All I have is what you bring
When I see you
[Verse 2]
The compliments they pass
I don't hear them
The hiss of snakes in grass
I don't hear them
Although no longer here
Your every thought will raise a cheer
I toast the wine and every beer
And I still hear you
[Pre-Chorus 2]
But I don't hear the out of tune
Songs you sing from room to room
All I hear is angel's croon
When I see you
[Chorus]
If I saw your face
It wouldn't compensate
And it won't replace
That vacancy, that space
[Verse 3]
Although you make no sound
I still hear you
You're 6 feet underground
But I still dig you
I'm the man who tends the flowers
Winter sun to autumn showers
I count the minutes and the hours
That I don't see you
[Pre-Chorus 3]
You took this heart and made it melt
You took these knees and got them knelt
And I still feel the way I felt
When I first saw you
[Chorus]
If I saw your face
It wouldn't compensate
And it won't replace
That vacancy, that space
[Bridge]
For he's good to me
Looking down sometimes, it's good for me
Brings me flowers on a rainy day
My love's so very good to me
Can't you see?
He's good to me
Beyond the last kiss and the final wave
Beyond any doubt, beyond the grave
My love's so very good to me...
