Story Behind The Song

I wrote this song a few years after my Dad passed away and I inherited his grand piano and moved to Arizona.

Song Description

Wondering if a loved one who has passed can see and hear the singer playing his beloved piano.

Lyrics

Since You've Been Gone
- by J Boldway copyright 6/08

Do you know where I am? I hope that you can see me
Do you know what's been going on in my life since you've been gone?

Chorus:
Since you've been gone I moved to Arizona
Bought a house there with room for your piano
Lost some weight, got a job as a writer, things are looking brighter
And I cry less today than I did yesterday
Since you've been gone

I look through photographs and hear the songs you used to play
Yes, the family's doing fine, me, I'm okay, I just needed more time

Chorus:
Since you've been gone I moved to Arizona
Bought a house there with room for your piano
Lost some weight, got a job as a writer, things are looking brighter
And I try to play your piano every day

Bridge:
The price of oil has gone sky high, wildfires threaten land too dry
The holidays keep flying by, but I've got this piano and the desert sky

Chorus:
Since you've been gone I moved to Arizona
Bought a house there with room for your piano
Lost some weight, got a job as a writer, things are looking brighter
And I wonder each day, if you can hear me play

Instrumental piano

As I play these black and whites on warm, sleepless nights
Life goes on... since you've been gone
