[Verse 1] The coffee’s cold again in your cup I still pour two without thinking Morning slips through the kitchen window And I swear I hear your footsteps The kettle sings, the day begins The way it always used to do And for a moment, just a moment The house remembers you [Chorus] I miss you loud, I miss you soft In the crowded days and the midnight dark I talk to the empty chair, your throne Like you’re listening still Loving you and missing you Are the last things time can’t steal So I leave the light left on, my love Just in case you’re near [Verse 2] I found your old sweater in the closet Holding traces of another spring And I carried it out through the garden Where the blackbirds sing and the roses bloom You loved the trees, you loved the sun You saw wonder in the smallest things Now every flower seems to whisper A little of what you meant [Chorus] I miss you loud, I miss you soft In the crowded days and the midnight dark I talk to the empty chair, your throne Like you’re listening still Loving you and missing you Are the last things time can’t steal So I leave the light left on, my love Just in case you’re near [Bridge] They say the missing gets smaller with time But I don’t think that’s really true I think the heart grows wider instead To make a home for loving you And every crack this life has left Lets a little more light through The pain became a deeper river And every part of it leads to you [Final Chorus] I miss you loud, I miss you soft Every single day and every lonely dusk If love is a house, you’re every room Every window, every view And though this world keeps turning on And silence answers where you were I’ll leave the light left on, my love I’ll leave the light left on Not because you’re coming home Not because I can’t let go But because loving you forever Is the truest thing I know
