[Verse 1]
You haven't talked to me since I was nineteen
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 who I was, not who I've grown to be
[Pre-Chorus]
You're up there with all my prayers
It's not fair
[Chorus]
I still see you in the mirror, in the pictures by the stairs
And when I'm sittin' down for dinner, you're in the empty chair
I know I get to see you everywhere, even though you'rе not around
I just wish that you could see me now
[Verse 2]
My closet overflows 'causе I keep all your clothes (Ooh-ooh-ooh-ooh-ooh-ooh)
No, I don't even wear them, but I never let them go (Ooh-ooh-ooh-ooh-ooh-ooh)
And the city wants to change me, but I'll keep the nose you gave me
'Cause I wanna look just like you when I'm old
[Pre-Chorus]
You're up there with all my prayers
It's not fair
[Chorus]
I still see you in the mirror, in the pictures by the stairs
And when I'm sittin' 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
[Post-Chorus]
(Ooh-ooh-ooh, ooh-ooh-ooh)
(Ooh-ooh-ooh, ooh-ooh) I wish that you could see me now
(Ooh-ooh-ooh, ooh-ooh-ooh)
(Ooh-ooh)
[Bridge]
When I'm lookin' in 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
[Outro]
You are really a special kid
But I don't want that to go to your head, alright?
Love you, more than any papas ever loved a grandson
