Empty Chair Lyrics – Anthony Gargiula
You haven’t talked to me since I was 19
I’m stuck here with your jewelry boxes and your memory
But we don’t get to choose
There’s no good time to lose someone
But you only know who I was, not who I’ve grown to be
You’re up there
with all my prayers
It’s not fair
I still see you in the mirror
And the pictures by the stairs
And when I’m sitting down for dinner
You’re in the empty chair
I know I get to see you everywhere
Even though you’re not around
I just wish that you could see me now
My closet overflows
Cause I keep all your clothes
No, I don’t even wear them
But I never let them go
And this city wants to change me
But I’ll keep the nose you gave me
Cause I wanna look just like you
When you’re gone
You up there
with all my prayers
It not fair
I still see you in the mirror
In the pictures by the stairs
And when I’m sitting down for dinner
You’re in the empty chair
I know I get to see you everywhere
Even though you’re not around
I just wish that you could see me now
I wish that you could see me now
When I’m looking in the mirror on my wedding day
And when I go to start a family
I’ll raise my kids the same
Through every milestone
The highs and lows
I’ll feel you when you’re not around
I just wish that you could see me now
You’re really a special kid
But I don’t want that to go to your head, alright?
I love you more than any pop pop ever loved a grandson
