[male
vocals] (
Soft,
resonant
piano
chords
echoing
in
a
vast,
empty
space) (
Long,
held
cello
note)
Oh,
Frank...
It
has
been
eight
long
years.
Eight
years
of
silence.
The
sun
still
rises
over
the
hills
we
walked
together
But
the
colors
feel
different,
muted
in
the
light
of
gray
I
remember
your
laughter
like
a
melody
caught
in
the
wind
And
the
way
you
looked
at
me,
as
if
I
were
the
only
day
Eight
years
have
passed
since
you
left
this
world
behind
Yet
in
the
quiet
moments,
I
still
search
for
you
to
find
Your
presence
in
the
shadows,
your
whisper
in
the
air
Even
when
the
silence
tells
me
you
are
no
longer
there
Oh,
Frank,
it
has
been
eight
years
without
you
Eight
years
of
missing
the
life
we
used
to
know
The
world
keeps
turning,
but
my
heart
is
standing
still
Waiting
for
a
love
that
refuse
to
let
go
I
carry
the
memories
like
a
heavy,
golden
crown
Watching
the
seasons
change,
and
the
sun
go
down
Eight
years,
my
love,
and
I
still
reach
for
your
hand
In
the
lonely
garden
where
we
used
to
stand
Our
daughter
reminds
me
so
much
of
your
gentle
heart
She
has
your
eyes,
Frank,
and
your
spirit,
bold
and
bright
I
see
you
in
her
when
she
smiles
at
the
dawn
of
the
day
She
is
the
lantern
you
left
to
guide
me
through
the
night
It
hurts
to
think
of
all
the
stories
left
untold
All
the
laughter
we
missed
as
the
years
began
to
fold
But
I
hold
him
close,
and
I
speak
your
name
out
loud
Like
a
prayer
rising
upward
to
the
velvet
cloud
Oh,
Frank,
it
has
been
eight
years
without
you
Eight
years
of
missing
the
life
we
used
to
know
The
world
keeps
turning,
but
my
heart
is
standing
still
Waiting
for
a
love
that
refuse
to
let
go
I
carry
the
memories
like
a
heavy,
golden
crown
Watching
the
seasons
change,
and
the
sun
go
down
Eight
years,
my
love,
and
I
still
reach
for
your
hand
In
the
lonely
garden
where
we
used
to
stand
Time
is
a
river
that
carries
us
far
from
the
shore
But
love
is
the
anchor
that
leaves
me
wanting
more
I’
m
not
looking
for
healing,
I’
m
just
looking
for
peace
For
a
moment
of
stillness
where
the
heartache
might
cease
Just
to
feel
your
warmth
for
one
final
embrace
To
see
the
light
dancing
across
your
handsome
face
Oh,
Frank,
it
has
been
eight
years
without
you
Eight
years
of
missing
the
life
we
used
to
know
The
world
keeps
turning,
but
my
heart
is
standing
still
Waiting
for
a
love
that
refuse
to
let
go
I
carry
the
memories
like
a
heavy,
golden
crown
Watching
the
seasons
change,
and
the
sun
go
down
Eight
years,
my
love,
and
I
still
reach
for
your
hand
In
the
lonely
garden
where
we
used
to
stand
Eight
years
today.
I
still
love
you,
Frank.
Faith
is
doing
so
well,
my
dear.
Rest
in
peace,
until
we
meet
again. (
