Not Here (Pop Version)

[Short Instrumental Intro} [Verse 1] You went Home on Veteran’s Day and my world forever changed. Since that moment until today things have never been the same. I feel like my life didn’t even get going until yours was gone. Oh, how I wish for just a few minutes to tell you everything that’s been going on. But since that can’t happen on this side of Heaven, Dad, that’s why I’m writing this song. [Chorus] Becca and I are doing just fine after 20 years along. Josh is finding his voice and has a heart that’s carrying our legacy along. I’ve made it so much further than I ever thought I would, But it wouldn’t surprise you because you’re the one that always thought I could. The only thing about everything that still feels wrong, It’s simply that you’re not here to hear this song. [Verse 2] It took a few years for me to realize how right you often were. You weren’t perfect, but I’ve found out none of us are. Wish I could watch a Rangers game at your side again, Or see your face light up with your grin. There are still days I’m scared and afraid. I’d give anything to hear your voice say it’s going to be okay. [Chorus] Becca and I are doing just fine after 20 years along. Josh is finding his voice and has a heart that’s carrying our legacy along. I’ve made it so much further than I ever thought I would, But it wouldn’t surprise you because you’re the one that always thought I could. The only thing about everything that still feels wrong, It’s simply that you’re not here to hear this song. It’s simply that you’re not here to hear this song. [Verse 3] I’ll always wish I’d made one last call the night before you were gone, But I’ve allowed forgiveness to find me after so long. A lot’s happened since the last time we talked, And I’m aware of the shoes I fill everywhere I walk. I’ll always do my best to make you proud, I just wish I could hear you say it one last time out loud. [Chorus] Becca and I are doing just fine after 20 years along. Josh is finding his voice and has a heart that’s carrying our legacy along. I’ve made it so much further than I ever thought I would, But it wouldn’t surprise you because you’re the one that always thought I could. The only thing about everything that still feels wrong, It’s simply that you’re not here to hear this song. [End] It’s simply that you’re not here to hear this song. [End]
