Babe, I hope you're listening
You would have been so proud
The band and I were playing
In front of a sold out crowd

I missed seeing you backstage
I wish you were here right now
We really brought down the house
But I still feel empty somehow

Babe, I need to hear your voice
It's hard not to just breakdown
I know if you had a choice
You would always be around

I have that tape you made me
I listen to it when I'm down
But I wish you were here to see
Just how good we finally sound

All of this is because of you
Babe, you kept me going
You helped me to follow through
Even when frustration was showing

Babe I hope you're listening
But right now I have to go
We really have to get moving
Another town and another show

I'm going to listen to your tape
On the bus when on the road
Your voice is just so soothing
Your pictures are on my phone

I wish I could've stopped the Cancer
You were my hope and my dreams
I prayed we could've traded places
But heaven took you away from me

Babe, I hope you're listening
You would have been so proud
The band and I were playing
In front of a sold out crowd
