I Still Miss You

Verse

The calendar page flipped a few years back

A shadow fell upon the beaten track

The phone call came, the world began to freeze

A quiet loss was drifting through the trees

I think about that day, the empty space

The silence settling over this old place.

Chorus

They say that time will make the heart forget

But every sunrise holds a new regret.

The rainbow's colors used to show me light,

Now tears fall freely when I see the sight.

I know you're gone, your presence in the air,

And nothing keeps my heart from missing you right there.

Verse

My mom stepped outside when the news arrived

A sudden burst of color, sharp, alive

A bending arc across the heavy sky

A sign you sent, a final, soft goodbye

It caught the pain we couldn't yet define

A private moment, yours and hers and mine.

Chorus

They say that time will make the heart forget

But every sunrise holds a new regret.

The rainbow's colors used to show me light,

Now tears fall freely when I see the sight.

I know you're gone, your presence in the air,

And nothing keeps my heart from missing you right there.

Bridge

I pick up my guitar to find the tune

Beneath a quiet, understanding moon

The music helps to fill the hollow ache

A promise kept for goodness sake.

Chorus

The rainbow's colors used to show me light,

Now tears fall freely when I see the sight.

I know you're gone, your presence in the air,

And nothing keeps my heart from missing you right there.

Nothing keeps my heart from missing you.

From missing you.

I still miss you.
