Verse 1 He still sets a place for you when no one’s in the room, whispers to your picture like you’ve only stepped out soon. Holidays are coming and the house feels twice as cold, every light and decoration makes him miss your hand to hold.[whatsyourgrief +1] Verse 2 He tucks the boys in gently, wipes the tears they try to hide, says “Mom would be so proud of you,” and breaks again inside. They ask him for a story, so he tells them how you laughed, how you danced inside the kitchen, how you lit up every path.[nationalwidowers +1] Pre-Chorus He’s learning how to breathe again in a world without your voice, carrying the love you left in every single choice. Chorus This is for the nights he cries alone but still gets out of bed, for every “I miss you” that never gets said. For the way he holds your memory like a lantern in the dark, keeping both your names alive inside those little hearts.[psychologytoday +1] She’s watching from the other side, whispering, “Baby, carry on, I’m right here in our two boys and in the strength that makes you strong.”[youtube +1] Verse 3 He wears your ring beside his, like a promise that remains, talks to you when no one’s listening, driving through the rain. Sometimes he feels you near him when a song comes on at night, or when one of the boys smiles with your exact same kind of light.[eterneva +1] Pre-Chorus Grief is just the echo of a love too big to end, and every step without you is a battle that he wins. Chorus This is for the mornings when he doesn’t feel that brave, but still makes their breakfast, still shows up anyway. For the laughter through the sorrow, for the pictures on the wall, for the way he keeps on loving you by loving them through it all.[facebook +1] She’s watching from the other side, saying, “Look at what you’ve done, you’re the hero of this story and the safest place for our sons.”[tiktok +1] Bridge If he could hear you clearly, you would say, “You didn’t lose me. I just moved into the spaces where your eyes can’t always see. Every hug you give our children, every time you say my name, I am there between the heartbeats, I am there in all the same.”[nationalwidowers +1] Final Chorus So this is for the sacred man still learning how to live, with a heart that’s cracked wide open but still choosing love to give. For a father and a widower who thinks he’s not enough, but carries heaven in his memories and honors you with love.[griefandtraumahealing +1] She’s watching from the other side, with a smile that never ends, saying, “Thank you for our lifetime, and for raising them, my friend.”[tiktok +1] Outro And when the holidays feel heavy and the lonely starts to burn, may he feel you in the quiet and remember: you’ll return— in their eyes, in their jokes, in the lives they learn to live, in the man who kept on going when he had no more to give.
