LYRICS

Dear J,

Can you hear what I’m saying

It’s okay, can you hear what they’re playing

It’s a mighty world, but not so mighty without you

 

I can feel you now

Though I never knew you well

You stayed hidden from my view

 

Dear J,

I did not hear you were calling

The sky is gray

The leaves are done with their falling

It’s a crazy world, but not so crazy without you

 

I still see you smile

I never knew your pain

Only light came shining through

 

Playing songs in that house up on a hill

Beams of sunlight come shining down all around

 

Now you’re in another world

 

Dear J,

Innocent and believing

It’s okay, there’s only love that you’re leaving

It’s a mighty world, but not so mighty without you

 

I can hear you sing

About just everything

And what we have is what is true
