I swallow hard and stare at the floor
I begin to cry, you are no more
I thought I saw you off to the right
That couldn’t be you, you died last night
I feel your presence in the air
I smell the sweet scent of your hair
How can it be that you’re not here,
When I can sense you are so near.
I wash the dishes and I wish
it wasn’t the last time for your food dish
I find your favorite small green frog
and your little squeaky dog
You loved to play with them everyday
How can I now just put them away
I swallow hard and stare at the floor
I start to cry you are no more
I answer the phone, it is a friend
They knew you too and have love to send
You touched the heart of all you met
I know by how many calls I get
I swallow hard and stare at the floor
I begin to cry, you are no more,
I know a day will finally come
It will be bright and full of sun
Flowers will open, the colors will burst
On that day, I will not think of you first
I swallow hard and look at the floor
I begin to cry, you are no more
There never will be another Sam
Resigned to this I surely am
Life goes on I’ll do my part
But keep you close to my heart
You had so much love to give
Your lesson in life I will try to live
I swallow hard and look at the floor
I begin to cry, you are no more
