[Verse 1]
Your side of the bed stays made
Coffee turns cold by noon
Your boots by the back door
Still point to an empty room
I caught myself saying your name
Like you’d come walking in
But the dog just lifted his head
Then laid it down again
[Pre-Chorus]
I still set out two plates
Out of some old habit
Then I stand there holding my breath
Like that might bring you back
[Chorus]
The love of my life is gone
Gone on, gone too soon
The love of my life is gone
And I don’t know what to do
I keep on calling your name
Like you might answer back
The love of my life is gone
And this heart won’t learn that
[Verse 2]
Your jacket on the hallway chair
Still smells like summer rain
I fold your shirt, then I unfold it
And start the whole thing again
Your picture by the TV
Got a little dust on the glass
I wipe it slow with my thumb
Like I can change the past
[Pre-Chorus]
Neighbors say time heals
But time just keeps on moving
And every mile down this road
Takes me where I’m losing
[Chorus]
The love of my life is gone
Gone on, gone too soon
The love of my life is gone
And I don’t know what to do
I keep on calling your name
Like you might answer back
The love of my life is gone
And this heart won’t learn that
[Bridge]
If heaven has a front porch
I hope you saved me a chair
I’d tell you all the things I missed
The moments you weren’t there
Till then I’ll keep your memory
Like a lantern in my hand
Small and shaking in the dark
Still helping me stand
[Chorus]
The love of my life is gone
Gone on, gone too soon
The love of my life is gone
And I don’t know what to do
I keep on calling your name
Like you might answer back
The love of my life is gone
And this heart won’t learn that
[Outro]
Gone on, gone too soon
Gone on, gone too soon
