The Empty Chair (Official Tribute Song) For Everyone We Lost This Year

And it is a reminder that those we’ve lost remain with us in every heartbeat, every prayer, and every space they filled with love.

Lyrics: Verse 1 There’s an empty chair at the table Where you used to laugh with me A coffee cup still on the shelf Where your fingerprints used to be I still hear your footsteps in the hall Though I know you’re not really there But every room I walk through now Whispers memories in the air Chorus And this empty chair reminds me Of the love you left behind All the moments, all the stories Still playing in my mind I wish I had one more minute Just to tell you how much I care But though you’re gone, you live within Every heartbeat, every prayer Your love still fills the empty chair Verse 2 The holidays don’t feel the same Without your voice and all your light I still set your place out of habit Like you’re coming home tonight And sometimes when I close my eyes I swear I feel you near A gentle peace, a quiet warmth That wipes away the tears Chorus And this empty chair reminds me Of the love you left behind All the moments, all the stories Still playing in my mind I wish I had one more minute Just to tell you how much I care But though you’re gone, you live within Every heartbeat, every prayer Your love still fills the empty chair Bridge Some say time will heal the pain But I don’t want to forget your name So I’ll keep telling all the stories Of the life you lived with glory And I’ll carry all the lessons That you left inside my heart You may not be here in this room But we’re never truly apart Chorus And this empty chair reminds me You’re still watching from above That even though the seat is empty It’s overflowing now with love I’d give anything to hold you Or just breathe the same air But until we meet again someday I’ll leave your place right there And let your love fill the empty chair Outro You’re still here In every empty chair © 2025 Rick Dorociak.
