Verse 1: Started a few years ago while alone and down I was playing guitar at the local bar in town I made sure a seat was empty in the crowd Waiting for you to show up someone to sing to out loud Chorus: Always checking the seat looking at the view It was a reminder, keep seeking someone true That chair was always empty and I knew It was holding on, for someone like you Verse 2: I usually sing in the choir Sunday morn’s And empty seat on a pew that’s worn One eye open looking for y’all to show In this house of peace, imagining your glow Chorus: Always checking the seat looking at the view It was a reminder, keep seeking someone true That chair was always empty and I knew It was holding on, for someone like you Bridge: Friday night lights and the football game Looking in the crowd at the empty seat I saved Is this seat taken, was the question asked I about fainted, but couldn’t let her past No ma’m it’s just for you I think She smiled and gave me a bit of a wink Final Verse: Now that chair is filled with love She was sent to me from above Leaving that chair empty all that time Worth the wait, now she’s mine Chorus: Always checking the seat looking at the view It was a reminder, keep seeking someone true That chair was always empty and I knew It was holding on, for someone like you
