She Misses Him

She shaves his face, she combs his hair
She helps him find his rocking chair
She cooks his meals, she wipes his mouth
And the window that he's looking out

She reads him books, she speaks his name
Oh every day is much the same
She sighs that sigh from deep within
The one that says she misses him

She misses his gentle touch and the way he used to make her laugh
She misses the man he was in all of those old photographs
So strong, so kind, so sweet, so smart
The man who stole her very heart, she misses him

His children come on Saturday
They're at his feet his grandkids play
It's sad they don't know him at all
He's just the one they call grandpa

They take out his trash, they mow his lawn
Things he can't do since he's been gone
She's grateful that they're pitching in
And like everyone, she misses him

She misses his gentle touch and the way he used to make her laugh
She misses the man he was in all of those old photographs
So strong, so kind, so sweet, so smart
The man who stole her very heart, she misses him

And yes they're still together after all these years
But sometimes you can almost feel
The sadness in her tears

She misses his gentle touch and the way he used to make her laugh
She misses the man he was in all of those old photographs
So strong, so kind, so sweet, so smart
The man who stole her very heart, she misses him
