I built our home with bleeding hands
laid each brick with love and plans
you were my light
my reason why
now I just talk to an empty sky
I'm still waiting at the door
where your laughter lived before
every night I whisper low
come back home don't let me go
but silence is all I know

you wore your cap
I fixed your tie
watched you chase your dreams and fly
I gave you wings
I stayed behind
but now you're gone and so is time
I'm still waiting at the door
where your footsteps touch the floor
even pain begins to fade
but the love it always stayed
still alone still afraid
I don't need much just one more day
to hear you call to hear you say
that I remember who you are
but wishes don't go that far
so I sing here on the stage
old and tired full of ache
not for gold
not for fame
just to call out your name
still waiting still the same
