[Verse 1] Sometimes I still reach for the phone Before I remember why I can’t call. Sometimes I hear a laugh in a crowded room And turn around without thinking at all. There are days I swear you’re close enough I could almost hear you say my name. Then the room gets quiet around me, And I remember everything changed. [Chorus] I still look for you In the places you used to be. In an empty chair, an old photograph, In every little memory. And I still talk to you When nobody else is around. I know Heaven’s farther than my eyes can see, But love don’t stop at the ground. So until the day Jesus brings me safely through, I’ll keep missing you down here And looking up for you. [Verse 2] There are things I wish I’d told you, Though I know you probably knew. How much of who I am today Was shaped by loving you. And grief is such a strange companion— Some days gentle, some days cruel. It can make a grown man feel like a child Still reaching out for you. [Chorus] I still look for you In the places you used to be. In an empty chair, an old photograph, In every little memory. And I still talk to you When nobody else is around. I know Heaven’s farther than my eyes can see, But love don’t stop at the ground. So until the day Jesus brings me safely through, I’ll keep missing you down here And looking up for you. [Bridge] Maybe Heaven isn’t losing. Maybe goodbye isn’t the end. Maybe every tear we’re crying here Is one He’ll never let fall again. And if Jesus keeps His promise— And I believe He does— Then somewhere past this aching There’s a reunion waiting for us. [Final Chorus] So I still look for you, But it’s different than before. I don’t only see the place you left— I see what’s waiting on the other shore. And I still miss you, Lord knows I always will. But sorrow doesn’t get the final word, And the grave never will. So until the day I finally see what faith says is true, I’ll keep living my life down here… And looking up for you. [Outro] Some days I still reach for the phone. Then I smile… And look up.
