an empty place at your table

there's an empty place at your table now
a sweetness is gone
day by day that hole can grow bigger and bigger
you can turn to me you know
in moments of doubt
in moments of weakness
i'm here

there's an empty chair at your table now
your dearest and closest friend
moment by moment she fades
you can turn to me you know
in moments of doubt
in moments of weakness
i'm here

i can't take her place
i can't sit in that empty chair
i can only hold you and love you
life can seem so unfair

i can't take her seat
or fill in for her in your heart
but i'll be here for you
i will play that part
