One Vacant Chair Lyrics & Tabs by Jennifer Leonhardt feat. Juliet Tondowski
One Vacant Chair
guitar chords lyrics
We shall meet, but we shall miss him
There will be one vacant chair
We shall linger to caress him
As we breathe our evening prayer.
When a year ago we gathered
Joy was in his mild blue eyes,
But a golden chord is severed
And our hopes in ruin lie.
We shall meet, but we shall miss him
There will be one vacant chair
We shall linger to caress him
As we breathe our evening prayer.
True, they tell us wreaths of glory
Ever more will deck his brow,
But this soothes the anguish only
True, they tell us wreaths of glory
Ever more will deck his brow,
But this soothes the anguish only
Sweeping o'er our heartstrings now.
Sleep today, Oh early fallen,
In thy green and narrow bed,
Dirges from the pine and cypress,
Mingle with the tears we shed.
We shall meet, but we shall miss him
There will be one vacant chair
We shall linger to caress him
As we breathe our evening prayer.
