Speaks of the Name

Verse 1

Empty boots sit by the door

Gathered family on the porch once more

Children laughing in the yard

Watching those we lost makes it so hard

Pre-Chorus

Steaks are on the open flame

But we keep speaking your name

Checking on the ones still here

While holding back a heavy tear

Chorus

This Sunday feels so blue

Every heart is missing you

Wished you could have stayed

Since the day they laid you in the shade

We still love you more than words

Singing songs only the wind has heard

Yeah we miss you Dad

Best friend a person ever had

Verse 2

I see your grin in my own son

Doing things you would have done

Found your old pocket knife today

Keeping those quiet ghosts at bay

Pre-Chorus

Beer is cold in the silver tin

Waiting for a story to begin

Checking on the ones still here

While holding back a heavy tear

Chorus

This Sunday feels so blue

Every heart is missing you

Wished you could have stayed

Since the day they laid you in the shade

We still love you more than words

Singing songs only the wind has heard

Yeah we miss you Dad

Best friend a person ever had

Bridge

Give a hug to the fathers nearby

Hold them close as the hours fly

Cause the chair at the head of the table

Is lonely as long as it's able

Chorus

This Sunday feels so blue

Every heart is missing you

Wished you could have stayed

Since the day they laid you in the shade

We still love you more than words

Singing songs only the wind has heard

Yeah we miss you Dad

Best friend a person ever had
