I Still Reach for the Phone Verse 1 The coffee's brewing in the kitchen, Morning sunlight fills the room. Without thinking, I grab my phone... Like I always used to do. Got a story I wanna tell you, Something funny from yesterday. Then it hits me like a freight train... You won't answer anyway. Pre-Chorus Funny how the heart Can forget what's true. For just a little moment... It still reaches out to you. Chorus I still reach for the phone... Almost every single day. Just to hear your voice, Even though it's gone away. There's so much I never said... So much left unknown. Funny how love still lingers... I still reach for the phone. Verse 2 You taught me how to saddle horses, Shake a hand and keep my word. Show up early, work like hell... Let your actions speak before your words. Now I'm trying to be the father You always believed I'd be. Sometimes I wish you could see The man I'm still trying to become. Pre-Chorus They say that time Can heal the pain. But some kinds of missing Never really change. Chorus I still reach for the phone... Almost every single day. Some habits come from love... They don't just fade away. If Heaven's got a front porch, I hope you're watching me. Still trying to make you proud... Still carrying your legacy. Bridge I'd trade every mile I've driven... Every dollar that I've made... For one more cup of coffee, One more story, One more ordinary day. Just one more laugh. One more hug. One more "Son... Everything's gonna be okay." Final Chorus I still reach for the phone... Though I know you're not there. Love doesn't disappear... It just learns another prayer. I'll keep riding down these backroads, Till the good Lord calls me home. And when it's finally my time... I won't have to reach for the phone. Outro (Spoken) If you're lucky enough To still have someone you keep meaning to call... Don't wait. Some conversations Become memories Before we're ready. I still reach for the phone.
