Empty Chair
Rachel Nicole Lowe (Gannon) 1987 (Nashville)
I know your not here but I feel you in spirit
The chair you use to sit in is now empty
I'll try to keep it together for the sake of the family
But this year is different
Because you cant be with me
My heart will always keep you close and near
I'll cherish the memories from each holiday that's passed so dear
Know matter where this Thanksgiving or Christmas is you'll always have seat next to me
So watch over us it's going to be hard to push threw
But we learned from the best and the best was you
