(Deke Richards) As I glance across the table Your empty chair is out of place Living here just ain't that easy now But there are signs of trying on my face We need you You're the strength You're the sunshine of our days We need you And the wisdom of your ways In our dreams, you are here When we wake you disappear Without you Life is one long lonely day Both the kids, they still love you You know, they always ask me When is daddy coming home Then we talk, and laugh about the good times Without you, they still feel so alone We need you You're the strength You're the sunshine of our day We need you And the wisdom of your way In our dreams You are here When we wake you disappear Without you, life is one long lonely day Someone's knocking at the door of my heart Telling me what we need Is a brand new start That ain't true We need you In our dreams You are here When we wake you disappear Without you life is one long lonely day We need you We need you In our dreams you are here When we wake you disappear Without you life is one long lonely day We need you We need you In our dreams You are here When we wake you disappear Without you life is one long lonely day
