[Verse 1]
Little socks
Still in the drawer
Hospital bracelet
Taped to my door
Your name in ink
On a pink white tag
My arms feel heavy
My heart still drags
[Chorus]
But I kiss your empty blanket
Like you’re wrapped inside my arms
Talk to shadows on the ceiling
Like I’m tracing your small palms
If heaven holds you closer
Than I ever
Ever could
Then hold her tight up there
Lord
Like a mother always would
[Verse 2]
Tiny hat
Still smells like you
Rocking this chair
Like it’s what I do
Humming that song
You never heard
Singing your name
On a breaking word
[Chorus]
So I kiss your empty blanket
Like you’re wrapped inside my arms
Talk to shadows on the ceiling
Like I’m tracing your small palms
If heaven holds you closer
Than I ever
Ever could
Then hold her tight up there
Lord
Like a mother always would
[Bridge]
Two months of sunrise
Two months of rain
A lifetime of love
In a handful of days
I never got
To watch you grow
But I’ll keep your birthday
In my bones
[Chorus]
I’ll kiss your empty blanket
Like you’re wrapped inside my arms
Talk to shadows on the ceiling
Like I’m tracing your small palms
If heaven holds you closer
Than I ever
Ever could
Then hold her tight up there
Lord
Like a mother always would (mmh)
