Missing Her Beside Me

[Verse] She’s up before the dawn, breakfast on the stove, Little feet are running wild, this home they’ve roved, I sit and sip my coffee, trying to find her smile, But it’s lost beneath the to-dos, it’s been a while. [Verse 2] The playground sees her laughter, while I’m a faded face, She’s chasing every giggle, I’m drifting in this space, Nights on the couch, she’s rocking them to sleep, I’m missing her beside me, it cuts a little deep. [Chorus] I love those little faces, our family so complete, But I miss her gentle whispers, soft laughter sweet, While she’s pouring out her love, and I watch from the side, I’m missing her beside me, wishing she’d confide. [Verse 3] Her eyes are tired, worn out from the day, I see the love she gives them, brighter than the May, But there’s a quiet yearning, a place where we belong, Two hearts still beating, a love that’s staying strong. [Bridge] If only we'd steal a moment, just a breath to share, A little bit of us time, beyond this day’s repair, I know she loves me dearly, but I feel left behind, I’m missing her beside me, needing her to find. [Chorus] I love those little faces, our family so complete, But I miss her gentle whispers, soft laughter sweet, While she’s pouring out her love, and I watch from the side, I’m missing her beside me, wishing she’d confide.
