[Verse 1] Kitchen full, table never cleared, Smell of dinner hangin' in the air. Friday movies piled up on the couch, Birthday candles, kids runnin' through the house. Friends spent the night, backpacks down the hall, Music homework, laughin' through it all. It was crazy, but God, it was good, Didn't know I had it so good. [Chorus] Empty arms, an empty nest, An empty heart can hardly rest. So fill these arms, Lord fill that nest, Fill it with love so we can fly, Fill these empty arms. [Verse 2] Still cook too much of that old recipe, Still hear little feet that ain't there no more runnin' to me. No more Mama, can he stay? No more what's for supper? late. Hallway's quiet, driveway's just one car, No light on late, no hand on my heart. [Chorus] Empty arms, an empty nest, An empty heart can hardly rest. So fill these arms, Lord fill that nest, Fill it with love so we can fly, Fill these empty arms. [Bridge] But it ain't nothin' new, The little birds, their nest is empty too. Out on the porch, that little nest is bare, But I know spring is comin', there'll be life back there. One day spring will come and they'll be back again, With little mouths to feed, little wings in the wind. And they'll teach new little birds how to be little birds, Teach 'em how to fly, teach 'em all those words. [Chorus] So maybe that little nest won't be empty long, And maybe these... Empty arms, an empty nest, An empty heart can hardly rest. So fill these arms, fill that nest, Fill it with love so we can fly. Oh, fill these empty arms... so they won’t be empty long.
