“Can You Hear Me When I Talk to You?” performed by Ashley Gearing

/in /by

Time passes by so quickly
But I guess I thought you’d be here forever
I never even had the chance
To say goodbye
There’s so many things to tell you
Left unsaid until now

Can you hear me when I talk to you
Do the words I say ever make it through
Can you hear me when I talk to you
Cause I’d give anything if I just knew

Every night I have the same dream
The one where you get to hug me
We laugh an’ talk until the morning
An’ then you vanish
It always leaves me feeling helpless
When I wake up an’ you’re not there

Can you hear me when I talk to you
Do you know how much I’d love to be with you
Can you hear me when I talk to you
Cause I’d give anything if I just knew

Living in this world without you
I constantly search through my mem’ries
Hoping that I find some treasures
That I passed over
All that I took for granted
Means so much now an’ I won’t let it go

Can you hear me when I talk to you
Cause I never said some things that I meant to
Can you hear me when I talk to you
Cause I’d give anything if I just knew

You know I never said some things that I meant to
Can you hear me when I talk to you
Cause I’d give anything if I just knew

 

 

“Can You Hear Me When I Talk to You?” when sung in a funeral service will bring back memories of lost opportunities to the family and friends who are left behind. If you will listen to the moving rendition of the song by Ashley Gearing, you won’t be able to prevent the memories of your loved ones from coming back.  Most people assume that they have all the time to spend with their loved ones and thus ignore the need to spend precious time with them talking and doing things. However, when the grim reaper suddenly comes and takes away the life of a family member, those left behind are left wishing that they still have more time to spend with the departed one. They are left wishing that they could still talk to the dead, do things that they should have done and so forth. This is the reason why “Can You Hear Me When I Talk to You” is a fitting song to play or sing in a funeral service. The song was released in 2003 but is still relevant today because of its theme.
