After I Pass Away

Lyrics: Sargis Poghosyan Music: Sargis Poghosyan When my chair sits empty at the table And my voice no longer fills the room Don't let the silence make you think I disappeared too soon If you find my jacket in the hallway Still shaped like I was there Hold it close I promise you My love is in that air Don't measure life by final breaths For by the closing day Measure it by every time I chose for you to stay After I pass away Don't you let your heart turn cold Every word I ever said Is yours to keep and hold I'll be the whisper in the wind That brushes through your hair The quiet strings inside your chest When life feels unfair After I pass away Don't think that I am gone Love doesn't end in heaven It simply carries on If the nights feel twice as heavy And the world feels twice as loud Close your eyes I'll meet you there Beyond the breaking clouds I'll sit beside your sorrow Like I always used to do And if tears fall down your face They'll fall on me too Don't remember Love me for dying Remember how I lived Remember how I held your hand Like letting go would hurt too much After I pass away Live louder than I could Be braver than my fears allowed Be stronger than I stood And when your time is ending And the sky turns golden grey Don't be afraid to Close your eyes I'll be there Waiting Waiting
