Marvin

I can still hear your voice ringing down the hall

You had a gifted melody, a perfect song for all

Smart enough to read the room, compassionate and kind

The most thoughtful kind of love that I could ever find

Your humor was a healing light when skies were turning gray

Oh Marvin, you just always knew exactly what to say

And when I'd call you out on things you tried to slide right by

You'd get that little crooked smile and look me in the eye

You'd say, "Well, what had happened was..." and spin a funny line

I couldn't even stay mad at you, you got me every time

I love you so much, more than I could ever say

I'm holding onto the music, even though you've gone away

You never missed a single chance to show me that you cared

So brilliant in the little things, in every moment shared

You'd wrap me in a warm embrace and sing a country tune

We'd laugh until our sides would ache beneath the living room moon

I keep replaying all the jokes and all the joy you brought

You gave me everything you had, and everything I sought

And when I'd call you out on things you tried to slide right by

You'd get that little crooked smile and look me in the eye

You'd say, "Well, what had happened was..." and spin a funny line

I couldn't even stay mad at you, you got me every time

I love you so much, more than I could ever say

I'm holding onto the music, even though you've gone away

Now there's a choir up above getting a brand new lead

Singing out a joyful chord, exactly what they need

I'm smiling through the memories, I'm looking at the sky

Knowing you're still singing, and our love will never die

And if they call you out on how you got your wings to fly

You'll get that little crooked smile and look 'em in the eye

You'll say, "Well, what had happened was..." and spin a funny line

I love you so much, Marvin, until the end of time

Yeah, I love you so much, more than I could ever say

I'll keep listening for your song, every single day
