[Verse 1]
White dress
Shaking hands
You were waiting at the door when the choir began
Your eyes
Found mine
I could feel you say “it’s gonna be fine”
[Chorus]
Father in heaven
Hold my girl
Sit beside her in that little church
Tell her that I miss her so
More than words will ever show
Father in heaven
Keep her near
Whisper love into her fear
Every prayer I’m sending through
Is just me saying “I miss you”
[Verse 2]
Bench rows
Hymn book
I still see her in that same old nook
Soft laugh
Crooked bow
I would give up every day just to watch her grow
[Chorus]
Father in heaven
Hold my girl
Sit beside her in that little church
Tell her that I miss her so
More than words will ever show
Father in heaven
Keep her near
Whisper love into her fear
Every prayer I’m sending through
Is just me saying “I miss you”
[Bridge]
If she ever wonders why
Why the space where I should be
Touch her shoulder
Dry her eyes
Say I never really left
I’m in every melody (oh)
[Chorus]
Father in heaven
Hold my girl
Sit beside her in that little church
Tell her that I miss her so
More than words will ever show
Father in heaven
Keep her near
Whisper love into her ear
Every breath I’m sending through
Is just me saying “I love you”
