Verse 1
I still remember the day the whole world stopped,
The phone rang once... then everything just dropped.
2018 took the light right from our eyes,
Now all we got are questions asking, "Why?"
Every family gathering just ain't the same,
There's an empty seat where you should've stayed.
I'd give anything just to hear your voice,
But heaven made a choice that wasn't ours to make.
Pre-Chorus
People say time heals, but they don't understand,
Some scars stay forever when you lose your best friend.
Chorus
Every time we look at your pictures, you're alive again,
For a moment it feels like this nightmare's gonna end.
Then reality hits, and the tears start to fall,
'Cause we'd trade everything just to get one more call.
We still talk about you like you're walking through that door,
We still love you now just like we did before.
If heaven lets you hear us when we whisper your name,
Just know not a single day has been the same.
Verse 2
Your sister still cries when your name comes up,
Trying to smile while her heart gives up.
Every birthday, every Christmas, every holiday,
We all stop and wish you never went away.
Sometimes I swear I see you in my dreams,
Then I wake up broken knowing what it means.
I'd trade every tomorrow just for yesterday,
If it meant I'd get one last chance to hear you say my name.
Bridge
If tears could build a staircase, I'd be there tonight,
I'd run through every star just to hold you one more time.
Tell heaven to borrow you... just for a little while,
I'd give my whole world to see your smile.
Verse 3
We'll keep your memory beating inside our hearts,
Even though death tried to tear us apart.
You'll always be the story that we'll never stop telling,
The reason some nights this pain feels overwhelming.
Until the day God says it's finally our time,
I'll carry your love through the rest of my life.
So save me a place somewhere beside you above,
'Cause goodbye never meant the end of our love.
Final Chorus
Every time we look at your pictures, you're alive again,
Like you're standing here beside us through the wind.
We miss you every morning, every night, every day,
And no amount of time could wash this pain away.
You'll always be remembered, you'll always be loved,
The brightest soul now shining high above.
This isn't where our story has to end...
We'll hug you again... when we meet in heaven.
