Mama's Empty Chair

The house is quiet now

Just me and memories somehow

I set the table like I always do

But there's an empty chair where you used to sit

Your favorite flowers by the window still

But the room ain't warm without you in it

I hear your laughter in the hallway

See your smile in every photograph

The coffee's brewing like you taught me

But it don't taste the same, no it don't last

Mama, I'm missing you tonight

Wishing I could hold you tight

Tell you all the things I never said

Before you had to go ahead

Every sunset makes me cry

'Cause you loved the evening sky

Mama, I'm just trying to be strong

But this house feels so wrong

Without you here

I found your letters in the attic

Every word you wrote still breaks my heart

You told me life would keep on moving

But Mama, I don't know where to start

I talk to you when no one's listening

Hope somehow you hear me from above

This pain, it comes in waves, Mama

But so does all your love

Mama, I'm missing you tonight

Wishing I could hold you tight

Tell you all the things I never said

Before you had to go ahead

Every sunset makes me cry

'Cause you loved the evening sky

Mama, I'm just trying to be strong

But this house feels so wrong

Without you here

I'll keep your memory alive

In everything I do

Until the day I see you again

Mama, I love you
