To See Her Smile (Song for Mom)

(Verse 1)

There’s an empty space at her dining table,

a wistful longing in her sighs

An unfinished book by the bedside table, silent tears in her eyes

I feel the sadness in the way she moves

But she’s a mother first that’s how she lives her life

(Verse 2)

She feels your presence in the things you built

I’m sure she sees you in our smiles

There’s a scent of you in her bedroom still

And yes, she feels you when she sleeps at night

And I would ease her pain if I were able

But only time can heal her wounds and soothe her mind

(Chorus)

Picking up now that you’re gone, it just ain’t easy

I pray she has the strength to try

It’s really tough to not give in and just go crazy

What I wouldn’t do just to see her smile

(Guitar Solo)

(Verse 3)

Sometimes I think about the walls we built

At times I just break down and cry

Now I recall the feelings that I hid with guilt

Locked away and out of sight

I’m just glad I got the chance to tell you

Just how much you helped to shape my life

(Chorus)

Picking up now that you’re gone, it just ain’t easy

I pray she has the strength to try

It’s really tough to not give in and just go crazy

What I wouldn’t do just to see her smile

(just to see her smile, see her smile)

(Chorus)

Picking up now that you’re gone, it just ain’t easy

I pray she has the strength to try

It’s really tough to not give in and just go crazy

What I wouldn’t do just to see her smile
