Dolly

[Verse 1] The chair by the window Still faces the road Your porch light’s been dark But the heart still glows We pass your old place And slow down the car Your name in the air Like a note from afar [Pre-Chorus] There’s a basket on the table Full of Sunday bread And every little story Lives on in our heads [Chorus] We miss you, dear Dolly We miss you, dear Dolly Your laugh in the hall Your hand on the wall We miss you, dear Dolly We miss you, dear Dolly When the night gets long We still sing your song [Verse 2] The garden’s gone wild But the roses hang on Your red boots by the door Say you’re never gone We keep your old recipes Folded in the drawer Every bite brings you back Like you’re walking through the door [Pre-Chorus] There’s a picture on the mantle And a light in each face You left us a kind of love That time can’t replace [Chorus] We miss you, dear Dolly We miss you, dear Dolly Your laugh in the hall Your hand on the wall We miss you, dear Dolly We miss you, dear Dolly When the night gets long We still sing your song [Bridge] If heaven has a back road You’re taking it slow With a full tank of mercy And a sky full of gold So save us a seat By the river up there We’ll bring the good stories And leave a chair there [Final Chorus] We miss you, dear Dolly We miss you, dear Dolly Your laugh in the hall Your hand on the wall We miss you, dear Dolly We miss you, dear Dolly When the night gets long We still sing your song
