When I was 5, that's when you died
My mother told me I'd never see you again
All I remember is that I didn't want her to see me
To see me crying, so I said:
"Don't worry mama you're still young and so beautiful
You will find someone to love and to cherish you"
I'll never forget how she looked laying in her bed
With thousands of people outside saying give peace a chance.

I would do anything for one conversation with you
Even to walk down the street with you would be so cool
Seems like the whole world had more time with you than I did

But the dead don't speak, they listen.

I was alone almost everyday
Felt like my mother was always away
All that I knew of you was what people told me
Though I remember the scar on your chin and
The sound of your voice everytime that you said goodnight
Your favorite TV show was Jekyll and Hyde 
And that you played the piano, well now so do I
Every note that I play goes up to the sky.

I would do anything for one conversation with you
Even to walk down the street with you would be so cool
Seems like the whole world had more time with you than I did

But the dead don't speak, they listen.
The dead don't speak...
They listen.
