Heartstrings Longing
Your coffee mug is sitting on the sill
Morning sun is creeping cold and still
I caught myself reaching for your hand
Forgetting you're across this quiet land
(Lord, it's quiet)
Found your ribbon by the bedroom floor
Every creak sounds like you at the door
I whisper words into the empty air
Hoping somehow that you hear my prayer
Sweetheart, you took my heart along the road
Leaving me with all this love to hold
Every mile between us feels so
long
Missing you with every simple song (I miss you so)
The porch swing sways in the evening breeze
Rusty hinges talking to the trees
I count the stars and wonder if you see
The same soft moonlight shining down on me
They say that distance makes the feeling grow
Oh, but darlin', that's already so
I don't need miles to know you are my home
Sweetheart, you took my heart along the road
Leaving me with all this love to hold
Every mile between us feels so
long
Missing you with every simple song
(yeah, took my whole heart)
Until you're back where you belong...
My sweetheart... (hummmm)
