I Miss Your Face

I miss the lightning bugs

Of the great plains

Driving down the gravel roads

At the end of a summer day

Hangin' around a bonfire

Sippin' iced lemonade

And singing songs

That would carry us far away

But the one thing I miss more than anything

Is your face...

All this time

I never really realized

Just what passed me by

If I close my eyes

I can see your smile against the evening sky

Sometimes, when I'm all alone

I ask God when

Or if I'll get to see you again

The news came out of nowhere

on a Wednesday night

Over the phone

As my brother cried

I didnt know what to say

But I wish I would have known

I never got to say goodbye

All this time

I never really realized

Just what passed me by

If I close my eyes

I can see your smile against the evening sky

Sometimes, when I'm all alone

I ask God when

Or if I'll get to see you again

Now I hope you get to watch me

Be someone I'm proud to be

I am strong, and I think that's because

I had a mom that believed in me

All this time

I never really realized

Just what passed me by

If I close my eyes

I can see your smile against the evening sky

Sometimes, when I'm all alone

I ask God when

Or if I'll get to see you again
