lyrics

Rocking Chair by Sean Bennight

A daydream in my rocking chair
A day when you're not near
An echo from a phone call
I hear your voice so clear
I listen to your laughter
The inflection of your smile
Hold on to these details
And cherish these thoughts for a while

It seems to be the best way
To keep you close to me
I lean back in imagination
It's your face I see

A daydream in my rocking chair
My front porch is scattered
With dust and wooden trophies
The things that really matter to me
Old lights and empty canisters
The piano's broken strings
I call you angel, that's what you are
Well, all except your wings

It seems to be the best way
To keep you close to me
I lean back in imagination
It's your face I see

A daydream in my rocking chair
I'm underneath a tree
I sit and in a flash
It all becomes a memory
It was just another moment
A glance and then a smile
Hold on to these details
And cherish these thoughts for a while

It seems to be the best way
To keep you close to me
I lean back in imagination
It's your face I see

When I hold on to my baby girl
Well, heaven and hell can wait
I'll hold on to every ounce of your love
In these daydreams while I'm away
