Shook every hand I didn't knowDm

They set a wedding date in JuneDm  
Your daughter named her brown-eyed baby Cafter you

Left all the flowers in the living room

Shook every hand I didn't know

Stacked all the cards I'll read to you when I get alone

I made your bed, hung your favourite dress

Mailed all the letters that you saved

Broke the news over every call that you couldn't make

[Chorus]

Never written down in a will, on a page

I do my best to try and keep you around this place

You oldest boy gave his girl your ring

They set a wedding date in June

Your daughter named her brown-eyed baby after you

I call my youngest brother once a day

And you would be so proud to know

He brings you yellow roses every time he's home
