What do I do with my questions now
Where do my comments go
Who will listen when I whine
Or when I'm feeling low

Your door was always open
Your smile was always on
But now your chair is empty
I can't believe you're gone

How do you fill an empty space
I don't know where to start
An empty glass can be filled with wine
But the space is in my heart
