Your Voice

Your Voice

Time keeps inching forward, 
further and further away from when we last spoke.
The sound of your voice being left behind 
I can see your face
I can see your smile
My ears are failing to find your sound, it's almost out of reach.

It's been so long since I've heard your voice
It hurts to think I may forget 
Memories can only hold so much, I guess
It hurts to think I may forget

Smells take me back to feelings I remember
Songs transport me to a time or place
But...your voice
I search down memory lane and it's your voice I chase

It's been so long since I've heard your voice
It hurts to think I may forget 
Memories can only hold so much, I guess
It hurts to think I may forget 

Your voice sounded special when you told a story, like no other,
Those unique sounds that were all your own,
Your sound when happy,
Your sound when sad, 
Your sound when proud,
Your sound when sad

Did I forget your laugh too?

It's been so long since I've heard your voice
It hurts to think I may forget
Memories can only hold so much, I guess

I miss the sound of you
