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 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 and make me proud 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 Verse 3: Friday night lights and the football game Looking in the crowd at the empty seat I saved That spot in the bleachers would fit quite well Finding someone looking for a place to sit a spell 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: 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 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 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 Closing: That chair was always empty and I knew It was holding on, for someone like you
