she shaves his face
she combs his hair
she helps him find his rocking chair
she cooks his meals
she wipes his mouth
and the window that he’s looking out
she reads him books
she speaks his name
oh every day is much the same
she sighs that sigh from deep within
the one that says
she misses him
she misses his gentle touch
and the way he used to make her laugh
she misses the man he was
in all of those old photographs
so strong so kind so sweet so smart
the man who stole her very heart
she misses him
his children come on saturday
they’re at his feet
his grandkids play
it’s sad they don’t know him at all
he’s just the one they call grandpa
they take out his trash
they mow his lawn
things he can’t do since he’s been gone
she’s grateful that they’re pitching in
and like everyone
she misses him
she misses his gentle touch
and the way he used to make her laugh
she misses the man he was
in all of those old photographs
so strong so kind so sweet so smart
the man who stole her very heart
she misses him
and yes they’re still together
after all these years
but sometimes you can almost feel
the sadness in her tears
she misses his gentle touch
and the way he used to make her laugh
she misses the man he was
in all of those old photographs
so strong so kind so sweet so smart
the man who stole her very heart
she misses him
