Chess

The last time you were here with me, We were playing chess. It was the first time I beat you. You were sitting right in front of me in Your black armchair That I've known ever since I was a child. I was struck by all the strength you had To play this game with me, But now I know that all you were was Tired. Now I know that all you were was tired. Just how I hate that you are gone. And saying it out loud makes it harder. I still don't get the world's moved on. It's sad this life can't take you further. I'll take your melody along, While I sing This very song. There are many things ahead in Life that will remind me of you, Like every piano that I see. And how soon I hear a song you played, I wish I'd hear you one more time. But now I know that all you'll be is Fine. Now I know that all you'll be is Fine. I just hate that you are gone. And saying it out loud makes it harder. I still don't get the world's moved on. It's sad this life can't take you further. I'll take your melody Along, While I sing this very Song. And your legacy lives On, Through your daughters and your Son. Oh, oh. Oh, Ooh, ooh. Ooh. Oh, Ooh. Oh, how I hate that you are gone. And saying it out loud makes it harder. I still don't get the world's moved On. It's sad this life can't take you further. I'll take your melody along, while I sing this Very song. And your legacy lives on, Through your daughters and your Son.
