Henry

I still hear the rhythm of your hands upon the snare

The way you filled a quiet room just by being there

We’d drop the needle down on your favorite vinyl records

And share those honest talks that I will always treasure

You always had a joke to chase the heavy clouds away

You just wanted everyone to have a better day

Oh, Henry, I would have done anything for you

I’m so sorry that I couldn't pull you through

I wish I could have saved you from your father

I would have walked through fire, I would have walked through water

This love between a mother and her son will never fade

I keep you in the echoes of the music that you made

You were so incredibly smart, a talent shining bright

Always the first to stand up and make a wrong go right

You couldn't stand a bully, you couldn't watch a person hurt

You gave your brothers and your friends your whole heart's worth

You showed us how you loved us in the only ways you knew

And every time somebody needs a hand, I think of you

Oh, Henry, I would have done anything for you

I’m so sorry that I couldn't pull you through

I wish I could have saved you from your father

I would have walked through fire, I would have walked through water

This love between a mother and her son will never fade

I keep you in the echoes of the music that you made

No matter how the years roll on, no matter how time flies

I still see that gentle spirit looking through your eyes

The drumbeat might be quiet now, the record might be still

But I will love you, Henry, I swear I always will

Oh, Henry, I would have done anything for you

I’m so sorry that I couldn't pull you through

I wish I could have saved you from your father

I would have walked through fire, I would have walked through water

This love between a mother and her son will never fade

I keep you in the echoes of the music that you made
