My wife Tammy and I have a playlist of songs we listen to each night as we fall asleep. One night it occurred to me that someday there might be only one of us listening to this playlist. That's what I wrote this song about.
Lyrics
Just Play Our Songs
Someday when I’m gone and there’s an empty space in bed
I’ll still be there every night, just in your heart instead
When the dark seems extra hard and you need to feel me near
Listen to our music and I’ll whisper in your ear
Just play our songs
Just play our songs
When you want to feel me near
Just play our songs
Open every window, let the nighttime breezes blow
You’ll hear my voice upon the wind, singing soft and low
Let the melodies assure you. Let the words bring comfort too
In the sweetness of the evening I’ll be right there with you
Just play our songs
Just play our songs
When you want to feel me near
Just play our songs
When you’re feeling cold and you miss my warm embrace
You can let our music fill up that lonely place
Remember all those tender times we held each other tight
And drifted off in peaceful sleep long into the night
Just play our songs
Just play our songs
When you want to feel me near
Just play our songs
Just play our songs as you drift off to sleep
Just play our songs. And remember love so deep
Just play our songs. You know the ones I mean
Just play our songs and I’ll be there in your dreams
Whether our time apart is short or much too long
The days will go more quickly if you just play our songs
And think of our reunion and how sweet it will surely be
Until then keep our love alive and do this thing for me
Just play our songs
Just play our songs
When you want to feel me near
The answer is so clear
Just play our songs
