Missing
Here's what you've been missing
After all these days
There's a rocking chair still sitting
Outside that she wishes wouldn't stay
Here's what you've been missing
Since you passed away
There's an organ that's still sitting
In the basement wanting you to play
Here's what you've been missing
I made some friends for good
So no longer am I sitting
Inside wishing for a childhood
Here's what you've been missing
He's gotten so much stronger
And no longer is he sitting
In the nurse's office 'cause he got hurt
But your flowers still bloom in the spring
And the sun comes up in the morning
Your newspaper's on the driveway
And the neighbors stop and say hey
It's just another day
But who am I kidding?
There's something missing
Here's what you've been missing
We took a family photo this year
And there's a space where you should be sitting
Just a reminder that you disappeared
Here's what you've been missing
I've decided to be an engineer
There's a lot of things I'll be fixing
Except the fact that you're not here
But the water's still wet in the summer
When the ice cream man comes I'm a runner
The chalk art's all over the driveway
And a part of me really wants to say
It's just another day
But who am I kidding?
There's something missing
Right now you're all I want to hold
What I'd give to see your face
But all that I've been told
Is that you're in a better place
But the leaves still change in autumn
And on Halloween the candy is awesome
We’ll cook in the kitchen for a few days
Coats on hooks then we’ll all pray
It's another holiday
A nice Thanksgiving
But there's something missing
But the snowflakes still fall in winter
And our house still smells just like ginger
Bread cookies and milk by the fireplace
And we will wait for Santa's sleigh
Decorations on display
Christmas lights glistening
But there's something missing
Oh who am I kidding?
Here's what you've been missing
After all these days
Just a little bit of everything
Since you passed away
