[Verse 1]
I almost called you today
Forgot for a second you were gone
Had your number on my thumb
Then that old ache came back on
Your cardigan’s on my chair
Smells like Sunday soup and rain
I still set out one more plate
Then laugh at myself through the pain
[Chorus]
You were my always
My soft place to land
The wrinkled hands that held
Too much of who I am
If love could’ve kept you
You’d still be here
I know
I talk to your picture
Like you’re just about to walk through the door
[Verse 2]
I wear your ring on a chain
Twirling it when I get scared
Hear your voice inside my head
Saying
“Baby
Say your little prayers”
I make your recipes wrong
Flour everywhere
Kitchen a mess
But it feels like you’re right there
Wiping tears with your apron edge
[Chorus]
[Bridge]
I’ll drink your tea the way you did
Too much sugar
Extra sip
I’ll tell your stories to my kids
So you never really slip
If love is a thread
You’re the stitch in my seams
I close my eyes and there you are
Rocking me slow in the space of a dream
Still the safest place in my heart
[Chorus]
