Missing You

I don't yet know where I'm going in this life,

but I look up to see if you're smiling down.

I can't take many more of these rides,

but I pray that I make you proud.

 

There's nothing more that I'd wish for

than to see you again.

I take comfort that you're not gone with the wind!

 

I know you're up there looking down, watching me.

I hope that I'm living a life that makes you smile down on me.

I know I can't right now, but someday I'll be there too.

Until then, this is me missing you.

 

It seems sometimes I don't know my wrong from my right,

but I know that someday I'll make it out.

I just keep on pushing my way through this life,

and I'll never stop living out loud.

 

There's nothing more that I hope for

than to hear you again.

I'm just glad you're not gone with the wind!

 

I know you're up there looking down, watching me.

I hope that I'm living a life that makes you smile down on me.

I know I can't right now, but someday I'll be there too.

Until then, this is me missing you.

 

There are so many times that I've though about just giving up

because I hated how I felt inside,

but I know that you'd kick my stubborn butt

if I quit without putting up a fight!

I can't give in when I've got so much left to do,

so here I am. This is me missing you.

 

I know you're up there looking down, watching me.

I hope that I'm living a life that makes you smile down on me.

I know I can't right now, but someday I'll be there too.

Until then, this is me missing you.

Here I am, and this is me missing you.

I love you... this is me missing you.

Thinking about my Nanny, Papaw, and Grandma and Grandpa Browder today. Think of something by Brad Paisley.
