Verse 1
There’s an empty chair at the table tonight,
But your laughter still echoes in my mind.
I can still see that crooked little grin,
Every time you’d catch me sneaking in.
Picking all the pepperoni off the pizza slice,
You’d shake your head and roll your eyes.
“Girl, leave some for the rest of us,” you’d say,
And somehow make us laugh the whole day.
Verse 2
I could sit for hours and just listen to you,
Every story felt honest, every word rang true.
Tales of hard days, good days, roads you’ve walked,
Life lessons hidden in the way you talked.
You weren’t trying to be a hero in our eyes,
But somehow you became one over time.
A steady hand, a faithful heart,
The kind of man who leaves his mark.
Chorus
If there was a looking glass into Heaven,
I’d spend every night staring through.
Just to see your smile one more time,
Just to know eternity is treating you kind.
I’d watch you walking streets of gold,
Free from pain and never growing old.
Oh, what I’d give for one small view,
Through a looking glass into Heaven,
Just to see you.
Verse 3
I still remember those summer afternoons,
The boys laughing underneath the moon.
You’d climb out there and wrestle around,
On that old trampoline barely touching the ground.
Their little faces lit up with delight,
As you became a kid again for the night.
You gave them memories they’ll always hold,
Worth more than silver, worth more than gold.
Verse 4
Sometimes I catch myself reaching for the phone,
Forgetting for a second that you’re gone.
There are things I’d tell you if I could,
Like how the boys are growing up so good.
How your love still lives inside these walls,
How your name still comes up in our talks.
You’re not here, but somehow you remain,
A thousand pieces woven through our days.
Chorus
If there was a looking glass into Heaven,
I’d spend every night staring through.
Just to see your smile one more time,
Just to know eternity is treating you kind.
I’d watch you walking streets of gold,
Free from pain and never growing old.
Oh, what I’d give for one small view,
Through a looking glass into Heaven,
Just to see you.
Bridge
Maybe you’re fishing by a crystal shore,
Sharing stories like you’ve done before.
Maybe you’re watching over all of us,
Smiling every time we laugh too much.
And maybe when the wind blows soft and slow,
That’s your way of letting us know,
That love doesn’t end when someone flies away,
It just finds another way to stay.
Final Chorus
If there was a looking glass into Heaven,
I’d tell you everything you’ve missed.
I’d tell you how much you’re loved down here,
How your memory never disappears.
I’d thank you for treating me like your own,
For making this family feel like home.
Until the day we meet again, it’s true,
I’ll keep searching the skies above,
For a looking glass into Heaven,
To catch one glimpse of you.
Outro
So when I see the boys laugh and play,
I find a little piece of you each day.
And though my heart still aches from missing you,
Love is the one thing death can’t take aw
