I don´t know if I can let it go My fingers clenched white as snow You packed your world in a wooden suitcase What you left behind time can´t erase
We spent 52 years giving all we had Raised seven kids on that plot of land There´s still your loose change and your buttons on your washing stand You left one big house for this lonely man
I miss holding your hands on Sunday Talking over the TV Watching the braves games And I know that the good lord called you up yonder I guess what they say is true Cause your absence makes this weary heart grow fonder
I found your old cook books but the biscuits ain´t right And how do you work this damn coffee pot
All my shirt tails are wrinkled, and bed is still made Cause your smell still lingers on where you laid
I hung up all your dresses and the dogs they´re doing fine I can´t remember the brand you used to buy Molly got her braces off and she smiles so big Davie is still as skinny as a whittled old twig
I miss holding your hands on Sundays Talking over the TV Watching the braves games And I know that the good lord called you up yonder I guess what they say is true Cause your absence makes this weary heart grow fonder
Well I miss holding your hands on Sundays Talking over the TV Watching the braves games And I know that the good lord called you up yonder I guess what they say is true Cause your absence makes this weary heart grow fonder
Jason and Margaret they´re expecting one more You´d be happy to know I fixed that cabinet door
