OVER AND OVER LYRICS
Staring at a photograph

Wishing I could I hear you laugh

Chasing an echo of a whisper

The voice that read to me each night

Was part of you that first took flight

Been racing time to remember

in my mirror I still see your face

In the smiles of my girls you left a trace

After all these years without a sound

I felt so lost until I found

40 seconds of film

After 34 years of silence

A way to reel you in

Pull you back from the distance

So much of my life

I never had a choice

Never gave up hope

That I’d hear my mothers voice

I’d get to hear your voice

Over and over again

I put you on a pedestal

It only made you feel less real

Someone I could not live up to

But now I see and hear you speak

It makes you seem so close to me

I found a way to be with you

in my mirror I still see your face

In the smiles of my girls you left a trace

After all these years without a sound

I felt so lost until I found

40 seconds of film

After 34 years of silence

A way to reel you in

Pull you back from the distance

So much of my life

I never had a choice

But I Never gave up hope

That I’d hear my mothers voice

I’d get to hear your voice again

Over and over again

Over and over again

Over and over
