Across the room sits an empty chair;
It's been a while since you sat there.
I look across the darkening sky
And wonder why you said goodbye.
...
People see each other every day.
Why do we not notice?
We see the strong
We see the courageous.
...
The Empty Chair
Across the room sits an empty chair;
It's been a while since you sat there.
I look across the darkening sky
And wonder why you said goodbye.
As I sit on the dock i cry
My tears filling up the dark night sky.
I sit and cry and lie awake
My mood echoing the thunder over the lake.
I lost my friend that dreadful day
I prayed to God for you to stay.
I promise I will weep until the end,
Because of the day i lost my friend.
