Song Description

A man who can't forget

Lyrics

She's Still Around


I've thrown away all of her belongings

Destroying everything she once held dear

I've even taken downall of her paintings

But somehow it seems that she's still here


I gave away all of her party dresses

Her vinyl records that were scratched and cracked

Then I discover one of her love letters

And all the memories they come flooding back



Chorus

I feel her near when I'm doing the laundry

I feel her near when I'm at the grocery store

She's beside me when I'm at the office

She's beside me when I close the bedroom door



Verse


I've cleaned out everything from her wardrobes

The box of games that she and I would play

Then I chance upon one of her bracelets

And its as if she never went away


I see her when I tidy up the garden

I see her when I mow the lawn

I see her when I wash up the dishes

Its as if she's never really gone


Chorus

I feel her when I'm doing the laundry

I feel her when I'm at the grocery store

She's beside me when I'm at the office

She's beside me when I close the bedroom door


Verse

She's with me when I wake up in the morning

I see her name and memories abound

I don't know how to exorcise her memory

There's no denying, she is still around


Chorus

I feel her near when I'm doing the laundry

I feel her near when I'm at the grocery store

She's beside me when I'm at the office

She's beside me when I close the bedroom door
