"His Empty Chair"

Haley/Killam/Leff

(Verse One)

What would I give if I could say, hello son in the same old way
To hear his voice to see his smile, to sit with him and chat a while
Those who have a Son, cherish him with care
For you will never know the heartache
Till you see his empty chair

(Chorus)

No one knows the tears I shed
When I look and see his empty chair
I cry all night, my eyes turn red
When I look and see his empty chair

(Break)

(Verse Two)

There's one sittin' at the table, where my son once sat and ate
I miss his tall tale fables, they say it's never too late
Tell them how much they're loved, hug them while they're here
You don't know when they'll be gone
And you see their empty chair

(Chorus)

No one knows the tears I shed
When I look and see his empty chair
I cry all night, my eyes turn red
When I look and see his empty chair

(Bridge)

I miss him so the years we had
He might be gone, but the memories I have

(Repeat Verse One)

What would I give if I could say, hello son in the same old way
To hear his voice to see his smile, to sit with him and chat a while
Those who have a Son, cherish him with care
For you will never know the heartache
Till you see his empty chair
