Lyrics

Your new shoes are still sitting
In the middle of our bedroom floor
Your robe still hangs upon a hook
On the back of our bathroom door
I know they’ll come a day
When I put them all away
But for now
I need them there somehow

I’m at peace with the idea
That it was your time to go
But was it my time to lose you?
Is what I need to know
And my friends all say you’re with me
Forever now
Their words keep ringing in my ears
“In spirit anyhow”

I still sleep on the left side
Of our big old double bed
I whisper “Bear I love you”
When all my prayers are said
And I know they’ll come a time
When I leave that all behind
But for now
I need it all somehow

I’m at peace with the idea
That it was your time to go
But was it my time to lose you?
Is what I need to know
And my friends all say you’re with me
Forever now
Their words keep ringing in my ears
“In spirit anyhow”

Your guitar is still perched upon its stand
And I haven’t yet decided
What to do with our wedding bands
But for now
I need them all somehow

I’m at peace with the idea
That it was your time to go
But was it my time to lose you?
Is what I need to know
And my friends all say you’re with me
Forever now
Their words keep ringing in my ears
“In spirit anyhow”

And my friends all say you’re with me
Forever now
I believe them
In spirit anyhow
