[Verse 1]
Coffee cup cooling on the table
Little shoes not kickin' on my floor
Got pictures on the fridge
But I still want more
Tiny hands in my memory
Sticky fingers
Crooked grin
I hear that giggle in the hallway
And my heart just walks right in
[Chorus]
Oh
I miss you when the sun goes down
Miss you when the morning starts (mm-hmm)
Every mile between our doors
Pulls the seams of this old heart
I got love stacked high as heaven
From your first breath to my last
Kids and grandkids on my mind
Every heartbeat
Every breath
Every laugh
[Verse 2]
I remember teaching you to wobble
On that bright red bike out front
Now you're teaching your own baby
How to take that first small jump
I’m proud enough to tremble
Just to see the way you stand
But when that driveway’s empty
I’m a stranger in my own land
[Chorus]
Oh
I miss you when the sun goes down
Miss you when the morning starts (oh yeah)
Every mile between our doors
Pulls the seams of this old heart
I got love stacked high as heaven
From your first breath to my last
Kids and grandkids on my mind
Every heartbeat
Every breath
Every laugh
[Bridge]
Call me up
Let me hear that story
Tell me what the little one drew today (hey!)
Put that baby on the line
Let me hear that babble anyway
'Cause I’m countin’ down the hours
Till I feel your weight in my arms
Rockin’ all those generations
In the cradle of these tired old palms
[Chorus]
Yeah
I miss you when the sun goes down
Miss you when the morning starts
Every mile between our doors
Pulls the seams of this old heart
I got love stacked high as heaven
From your first breath to my last
Kids and grandkids
You’re my song
Every heartbeat
Every breath
Every laugh
