"Empty Chair" lyrics

She said good morning how did you sleep
Did you have any dreams of me
Like I do of you every night or two
Tell me how long has it been
Since we went out with our friends
They all ask about you
Yea they sure miss you too

She pours out two coffees
One with cream and one just black
Looks across the table
Wishing he was looking back

But she's just talking to an empty chair
Thinking 'bout times when he was there
Just praying and hoping for days when he holds her again
Whispering I love you in the dark
I'll be here forever I cross my heart
She's smiling and laughing back at him like he's still there
But she's just talking to an empty chair

Kids told me to tell you hello
And all of the grandkids are grown
They all ask about you
And for a story or two

She blows out the candles
Before she heads up to their room
Looks across the table
Says goodnight I love you

But she's just talking to an empty chair
Thinking 'bout times when he was there
Just praying and hoping for days when he holds her again
Whispering I love you in the dark
I'll be here forever I cross my heart
She's smiling and laughing back at him like he's still there
But she's just talking to an empty chair

She fell asleep that night, woke up and he was there
Family smiled as they cried just thankful she's somewhere

Where she ain't talking to an empty chair
Thinking 'bout times when he was there
Just praying and hoping for days when he holds her again
He's whispering I love you in the dark
I'll be here forever I cross my heart
She's smiling and laughing back at him cuz he's right there
Picking up right where they left it somewhere upstairs
Where she ain't talking to an empty chair
