[Verse]
If heaven had a phone, I’d dial it today
Through the static and the clouds, I’d hear what you’d say
I’d tell you ‘bout the farm, how the fields still grow
And how your old dog waits by the porch like he knows
[Verse 2]
We’d talk about the morning, when the coffee’s strong
How I still hum the hymns you sang all along
There’s an ache in the silence, when the sun sinks low
If heaven had a phone, you’d already know
[Chorus]
I’d say, “I miss you more with every setting sun
But I’m holding down the fort, trying to get things done”
I’d laugh through my tears at the stories untold
If heaven had a phone, it’d mend this broke soul
[Verse 3]
I’d ask about the weather where you’re standing now
If you’ve found peace, if they all let you plow
Did you find Grandma’s quilt, or your favorite chair?
If heaven had a phone, I’d feel you right there
[Bridge]
The dial tone would hum like a lonesome refrain
I’d hold every word like a sweet summer rain
Your voice in the line, though faint and so far
It would light up the night like a lone shining star
[Chorus]
I’d say, “I miss you more with every setting sun
But I’m holding down the fort, trying to get things done”
I’d laugh through my tears at the stories untold
If heaven had a phone, it’d mend this broke soul
