[Intro - Tender fingerpicked acoustic guitar, crying pedal steel, gentle piano notes building slow and steady] [Verse 1] I'm missing you so deeply as the midnight shadows fall, Staring at the ceiling while your memory fills the hall. The sweet scent of your hair, the warmth of your embrace, The peace that takes over when I look upon your face. The way you drift to sleep with a quiet little prayer, Smiling when I hold you close and whisper that I’m there. Stars shining in your eyes, wiping sorrow from the night, A gentle touch of grace that turns darkness into light. [Pre-Chorus] My days and my thoughts hold the treasure that we share, Carved deep in my spirit, resting safely right there. No distance, no lock, and no walls made of stone Can take away the love that makes this weary heart a home. [Chorus] There are scars crossing deep in the core of my heart, From counting every mile that keeps us both apart. I see you crinkle up your nose with that sweetness in your smile, Holding to your angel kisses, praying all the while. Through the heartache, the silence, the longing and such— The anchor of my soul is your gentle touch! [Verse 2] I sit and I daydream of the morning break of dawn, When every lonely hour of this separation’s gone. Sitting on the porch where the evening breezes blow, Talking for hours about everything we know. Walking through the garden with your favorite flowers in hand, Catching up on years that only true love understands. Four long years of letters kept right against my chest, You gave me the power to stand up to the test! [Pre-Chorus] You gave me the strength when the road was hard and steep, A faithful reminder of the promises we keep. No matter how bitter the wind began to blow, I knew your sweet devotion would never let me go. [Chorus] There are scars crossing deep in the core of my heart, From counting every mile that keeps us both apart. I see you crinkle up your nose with that sweetness in your smile, Holding to your angel kisses, praying all the while. Through the heartache, the silence, the longing and such— The anchor of my soul is your gentle touch! [Bridge] This season will break and the iron will bend, A glorious beginning where the suffering will end! Coming home to my baby, my daughter, my girl, Taking our trip all around this wide world! Standing through the storm with our heads lifted high, Writing our redemption cross the open southern sky! Still Standing unbroken, through the fire and the frost, Reclaiming every single blessing that was lost! [Fiddle / Electric Slide Guitar Solo - Massive, weeping, soulful crescendo] [Chorus] There are scars crossing deep in the core of my heart, From counting every mile that keeps us both apart. I see you crinkle up your nose with that sweetness in your smile, Holding to your angel kisses, praying all the while. Through the heartache, the silence, the longing and such— The anchor of my soul is your gentle touch! [Outro] Missing you so much... Coming home to hold you... My baby and my girl... To your gentle touch. Still Standing. (Warm acoustic guitar strum ringing out into silence)
