Lyrics

[Verse 1]
Twelve-nine-twenty-three, a date etched in pain,
Mom, you left us, like a whisper in the rain.
Now I'm left with shadows, echoes of your smile,
You fought your battles, now you rest for a while.
No more pain, no more tears in your eyes,
But the world feels heavy beneath these blue skies.
I know you’re OK, in a place where love’s real,
Yet in every heartbeat, oh, I miss you still.

[Chorus]
I miss you still, with every breath I take,
All those memories spinning, oh, they never fade.
The scent of your cigarettes fills the air,
Even though you’re gone, I can feel you everywhere.
I miss you still, it’s a heartache to bear,
But I know you’re not in pain, anymore, that’s rare.

[Verse 2]
Sunday dinners, with laughter and cheer,
Your secret recipes, they linger near.
The kitchen warm, the table set wide,
Every bite holds your love, every flavor your pride.
Watching football on those lazy afternoons,
We cheered for our team while the world hummed its tunes.
The cookouts, the horseshoes, Saturday nights at the bar
to those long drives home, we took in your car

[Chorus]
I miss you still, with every breath I take,
All those memories spinning, oh, they never fade.
The scent of your cigarettes fills the air,
Even though you’re gone, I can feel you everywhere.
I miss you still, it’s a heartache to bear,
But I know you’re not in pain, anymore, that’s rare.

[Bridge]
Waking up early, at four AM,
Going to work side by side, just you and me then.
Building those railroad cars, sweat on our brows,
Every moment spent, I’m forever grateful now.
You taught me strength, how to carry on,
Through every storm and every dawn.
And though time keeps passing, my heart stands still,
In the silence, I whisper, oh, I miss you still.

[Chorus]
I miss you still, with every breath I take,
All those memories spinning, oh, they never fade.
The scent of your cigarettes fills the air,
Even though you’re gone, I can feel you everywhere.
I miss you still, it’s a heartache to bear,
But I know you’re not in pain, anymore, that’s rare.

[Outro]
So until we meet again, in heaven above,
I’ll hold onto your memory, forever in my heart, will be your love.
Though the world feels empty, your spirit’s my thrill,
With every single heartbeat, oh, I miss you still.
