Lyrics:

Like the perfect ending
It won't be too long
Till everything I've ruined has seen me gone
In time, I pray you'll forgive
Now you know the man I am
Can you forgive me?
I fall
Like the sands of time
Like some broken rhyme
At feet no longer there

If only I could call the rain to melt and wash away the pain you feel
I would
You gave yourself to me and showed me what the truth could be
For that, I say thank you
This was my life
It never made much sense to me

With every lie that I lived
Part of me would fade
Into this empty shadow I've become
And now I feel so numb
I no longer know myself
But I still know you

I call
And there's no reply
Like some phantom cry
On ears too far away

I close my eyes and watch as my life passes by
The only thing I see is you
For all the times you walked the line for me and standing by my side
I say thank you
Here lies my life
It never felt that real to me

You'll always mean so much to me
And there's no reply
And there's no reply
You'll never know how much you meant to me

If only I could call the rain to melt and wash away the pain you feel
I would
You gave yourself to me and showed me what the truth could be
For that, I say thank you
This was my life
It never made much sense to me

I close my eyes and watch as my life passes by
The only thing I see is you
For all the times you walked the line for me and standing by my side
I say thank you

You in my life
It all meant so much more to be

All the Steve Conte songs that have helped us through heartbreak, rediscovery, and rebirth of one's own persona.
Thanks Steve.

I don't think Steve Conte ever got the audience he deserved.
Maybe I'm missing something, but to me he always seemed to be pretty underrated.
(I use the past tense because I don't know how much of a career he has left. Hopefully a lot. I'm a big fan.)

Steve Conte is the unsung hero of the Bebop OST

[Zer.-_]

I remember being about 21 years old sending this song to my now ex-girlfriend, my one true love, the only one who I ever truly cared about leaving that left me depressed for months on end. The lyrics were so true, because it was my fault. I'm 36 now and she still crosses my mind every now and then, even after all this time. Completely unreal how someone can have such an impact on your life even in those young years.

Sad to say I never did fall in love again. That whole situation completely stunted me as a young man and I was never able to fully open up and trust anyone again despite the fact that I have had a number of relationships since then.

Steve Conte ranks right up there with vocal legends like Paul Rogers ... just awesome !

[dejuancampbell]

Steve Conte is amazing! Truly hypnotic vocals and superb guitar playing. Living inside the shell and so many other songs are underrated. Keep bring good music Steve Conte!

[savage]

This song has so much emotion put into it, the lyrics are some of the most powerful i've read in music. Absolute masterpiece.

[cathyproscia]

[simongafuncle]

[shutendo_jiro]

I close my eyes and watch as my life passes by...
The only thing I see is you... ♫

[spookyelectrik]

gotta love coming back to great songs, even if it was from a not so great time in my life, but then again what is so great about being happy anyway.

[jamesvan]

That time when someone you never even heard of diagnosed you in just over 6 minutes flat. Ain't been right since lol. #worthit

[pallavi]

This song makes me taste a bit of what it would it be like waiting to say someone how much they mean to me and then in the mean time they're not around. How much ever I scream, my words will not reach them. That's the biggest regret that anyone can have. I hope I don't have it in my life.

[hazelgoodshepherd]

Rest in peace, Big Mama... See you soon.

[RPGLaSesiune]
