Missing My Brother

Intro

Midnight on the levee, slow river calls

Lantern glow flickers down empty halls

Cicadas humming low, sweet as can be

Thinking of you sitting right next to me

Verse 1

Bare feet on old pine boards, coffee brewing slow

Singing all the old songs we both used to know

Ribbons in the willow, sunlight on the bay

I always thought you’d never drift away

Chorus

I keep the memories of you

I replay them again and again

I reach for laughter that I can't find

Missing my brother, missing his light

Verse 1

Shadows pass across my memories

Old photos on the mantle place

Sharing secrets late at night

Feels far away but not out of sight

Verse 2

We laugh and we fight, we stumble and cry

I remembered how you smiled

Now you’re home, where the light is strong

I hold the love we knew, even though you’re gone

Chorus

Memories around me, they’ll carry me on

You’re with Jesus now, but my heart sings your song

Bridge

Every sunrise brings a story you told

I hear you laughing in the morning gold

Sometimes I stumble, sometimes I pray

But I know your love never fades away

Chorus

So I’ll keep the memories close every day

Let your voice guide me when skies turn gray

Even though you’re gone, your spirit’s near

Missing my brother, wishing you were here

Outro

I'll sit on the porch as the evening rolls in

Sweet southern wind and a sad violin

Your laughter still lingers in cotton and pine

Brother, your memory's always alive

Stars come out slowly, I whisper your name

The river keeps rolling, nothing's the same

But love never leaves, it stays planted strong

I’ll sing you this old goodbye song
