Nickie Harte Kelly Lydia Manuel: Absence (Acoustic Mix) Friend Lydia Manuel has been making a name for herself in Nashville circles as a songwriter and performer. In a very personal single, here she tackles the difficult subject of the loss of a child to SIDS. Accompanied with just an acoustic guitar and her emotive voice, Lydia capably reflects on grief of a life that ended far too soon. All proceeds go to the SIDS Institute, so a very worthy cause.

lyrics

Absence

Grandmother Moon over my shoulder
Thinks I don’t see her
Trying not to make it obvious
That she’s checking on me

Of all the stars I’ve wished on
Beside this wailing wall
Not one has brought you back
Guess they’re not wishing stars after all

Chorus
The absence of your presence
Is an aching, phantom limb
Ever in my heart
Never in my arms again

I’m doing fine
I hear myself say the words
But it takes all I can do
To get through the day

Mornings are the hardest
In sleep I can forget
Then I wake, and have to remember
How to breathe again

Chorus
The absence of your presence
That aching, phantom limb
Ever in my heart
Never in my arms again
