Still Gone (feat. Michael Cleveland & Smokin' Brett Resnick)

You’re Still Gone

I stopped by the house today

Kind of thought that you might come my way.

From the corner of my eye, I could have sworn I saw you walking by.

And I still have the pillow, and the blanket you slept on.

And it feels like nothing’s really changed -

But you’re still gone.

It’s the little things that hit me hard

Like that tennis ball just lying in the yard.

It’s that telephone that starts to ring -

Just doesn’t sound the same when you don’t sing.

And I swear I can hear you out there barking on the lawn. It seems like you’re still here, but I still know...

That you’re still gone.

Someday we’ll be together,

In that big field in the sky.

Where you can run together,

Heck, you might even fly.

There will be so many things to chase,

You won’t know where to start -

But until that day,

You’ll just have to stay,

In my heart.

Brought home a friend today.

Kinda thought you’ld think

He’d be OK.

He’s ten pounds soaking wet.

There’s not a stranger that he’s ever met.

Now if heartache could be measured,

Then I’d be overdrawn,

You’re still in my heart,

I can’t let you go,

I won’t say goodbye,

But I still know...

That you’re still gone.

You’re still gone.

You’re still gone,

But I’m wishing you could stay.
