about

In just a couple of years, Charise Sowells lost her dad, her dog, and her grandfather. 'Without You Here' is dedicated to each of them.

She wrote the song to help her move through the grief and she hopes that listening to it will help those who have also lost a loved one do the same.

'Without You Here' is being released on the one year anniversary of Charise's grandpa's death.

He was the last of the three to pass and is pictured in the album cover photo, smiling at Charise in the autumn leaves of Minnesota.

lyrics

This is what a heavy heart means
I don't want to cry in vain
It feels like my heart is cracking
I have never felt such pain
Even though the sun is rising
and I live to see another day
everything looks different to me
I feel I'll never be the same

Without you here
there's a missing piece
Without you here
I'm flooded with memories
The good and the bad
happy and the sad
and everything in between

And I'll never let go
but it's time to move on
It hurts me to say so
but I need to be strong
And live my life
in honor of you
I know that's what
you'd want me to do
Do my best
to make you proud
I'll always miss
You being around

This is what a heavy heart means
I don't want to cry in vain
It feels like my heart is cracking
I have never felt such pain
Even though the sun is rising
and I live to see another day
everything looks different to me
I feel I'll never be the same

Without you here
there's a missing piece
Without you here
I'm flooded with memories
The good and the bad
happy and the sad
and everything in between
