"CAN I KEEP TALKING TO YOU" lyrics

He was dressed up in his new shirt
She only bought him late last week
Spent the day shaking hands with old friends he didn't think he'd see
His youngest boy was the last to leave, he stood at the door, he said
"You sure you'll be alright, Dad?
You need anything, just call"
Rinsed off the dishes, then just sat there in the quiet
Looked up at the wall to an old framed black and white
Her smile was just as perfect as, the day when they first met
Lent forward in the leather, looked up at her and said

Can I keep talking to you?
Don't know what else I'm meant to do
Than just sit right here and tell you 'bout my day
You don't have to say a word
'Cause in my heart I know you've heard
Probably roll your eyes at half the things I say
I think I've figured out, the way I'll make it through
I keep talking to you

You'll be proud to see the gardens
Your roses are growing tall
And it's been nice to see the grandkids
They've been coming around a little more
Last week I took a drive down to our favourite place
Yeah, the weather was just perfect
But still, wasn't quite the same

Can I keep talking to you?
Don't know what else I'm meant to do
Than just sit right here and tell you 'bout my day
You don't have to say a word
'Cause in my heart I know you've heard
And probably roll your eyes at half the things I say
I think I've figured out, the way I'll make it through
I keep talking to you

I keep talking to you

Oh, I won't always have the right words
But you know that I will try
And I know it won't be long
Until I look you in the eye

Can I keep talking to you?
Don't know what else I'm meant to do
Than just sit right here and tell you 'bout my day
And you don't have to say a word
'Cause in my heart I know you've heard
And probably roll your eyes at half the things I say
I think I've figured out, the way I'll make it through
'Cause you're the only one, who will ever get me through
So I'll keep talking to you
