"He's Not There"
Steve & Annie Chapman
Times & Seasons Music/2016
Daddy died a year ago
He's buried on a hill
Just a few miles down the road
From his old home in Chapmanville
Mama's living by herself
I called her just today
Good to hear she's doing well
She's never been back to the grave
I said, Mom do you think it's time?
I'll come home and take you I wouldn't mind
That's when Mama said...
He's not there
He's not there
His name is on that stone I know
But he's not there
Through eyes of faith I see him now
In heavens land so fair
For you I'll go but child I know
He's not there
She said, God knows I miss that man
I'd love to see his smile
And feel the tender in his hands
And walk with him a while
If I could go and hear him say
Could I have this dance?
I’d be there everyday day
Wouldn't want to miss that chance
All I have is our sweet memories
But they're not buried not on that hillside
They live inside of me
