Story Behind The Song

Friends heard a song I wrote to get my husband through the suicide of one of his sons and asked me to write a tribute to their daughters who had died in a car accident many years ago.

Lyrics

When I Whisper your Name
By Lynda Dobbin-Turner

V1
A lot of years have passed since you've been gone
I've never been the same
But I've still carried on
I picked up all the pieces that were left
But some edges are so rough
They don't quite fit right yet

Pre-Chorus
I know a lot of folks are never gonna understand
I'm living life on my terms
But not the life I planned

Chorus
And I often wonder where you'd be
I wonder what you'd do
I wonder if you keep a part of me
Out there with you
This old world stays in motion
Our only constant's change
Love once given it remains
And I wonder, if you still feel my love
When I whisper your name

V2
I often close my eyes and picture you
Doing all the things
I know you love to do
The tokens that I find placed on your stone
Tell me I am not alone
Others remember too

Pre-Chorus
I know a lot of folks are never gonna understand
I'm living life on my terms, but it's not the life I planned

Chorus
And I often wonder where you'd be
I wonder what you'd do
I wonder if you keep a part of me
Out there with you
This old world stays in motion
Our only constant's change
And Love once we've given it remains
And I wonder, if you can feel my love
When I whisper your name

Bridge
You were at the heart
Oof every single choice I made
I hope you know I always did my best
Good or bad, right or wrong
My only choice today
Is to live my life with no regret

Chorus
Still I often wonder where you'd be
And I wonder what you'd do
And I wonder if you keep a part of me
Out there with you
This old world stays in motion
Our only constant's change
Love once we've given it remains
And I wonder, if you can feel my love
When I whisper your name
When I whisper your name
