Lyrics

[Verse 1] There's a rhythm in the silence now Where the laughter used to be A camera still, the sticks laid down But the pictures live in me A gentle giant filled the room With a joy so bright and true [Chorus] Christopher, my pebble and my proof That love can last beyond this life Christopher, you chose me and I chose you Two penguins, mates for life And though you've gone where I can't follow Your love still holds me through the hollow Christopher, my gentle giant You were mine [Verse 2] A Brooklyn boy with an Italian heart Who lived and breathed for the blue You took my hand at the Garden that night And the whole world fell from view We found each other in a sea of strangers Fell in love before we even met The funniest man, the happiest soul Not a moment I'd forget [Chorus] Christopher, my pebble and my proof That love can last beyond this life Christopher, you chose me and I chose you Two penguins, mates for life And though you've gone where I can't follow Your love still holds me through the hollow Christopher, my gentle giant You were mine [Bridge] I held you close when the world went quiet Fifty-one years was not enough But the love you gave, pure and unwavering Was a whole lifetime's worth of love [Verse 3] Your boys still carry you in their smiles You loved my kids like your own Three little families made into one You turned every house to home So I'll keep the pebble close to my heart And hear your drumbeat in the rain The happiest man I ever knew And I'd choose you all again [Chorus] Christopher, my pebble and my proof That love can last beyond this life Christopher, you chose me and I chose you Two penguins, mates for life And though you've gone where I can't follow Your love still holds me through the hollow Christopher, my gentle giant You were mine [Outro] Two penguins, mates for life You were mine And you're still mine
