Fatherless Child in Nikka Costa

Heaven spoke too loud
Left me a fatherless child
Occurs to me every day
But your memory makes me proud
You're the one I hold
You're the first man I loved
And all that follow
Have a mountain to rise above

And there's a hole inside of me
Where I put flowers so I can breathe
And though the winters have come and gone
You're still my heart, you're still my sun

Somehow I always knew
What I lost was never gone
Cause there's a part of you
Inside me that carries on

And there's a hole inside of me
Where I put flowers so I can breathe
And though the winters have come and gone
You're still my heart, you're still my sun

Heaven spoke too loud
Left me a fatherless child
And there are times you know
I really wish you were around

And I'll try to make you proud
Cause you're the break in every cloud
And I'm convinced that's why the sun shines
On me
