Lyrics
Verse 1
I still see your fingerprintsOn the fridge beside the rentSchool-day drawings held by magnetsAnd the lunchbox that you leftI was learning as I went alongWith more pride than senseSometimes I was standing right beside youAnd still missed what you meant
Pre‑Chorus
If I could borrow one more morningBefore the years got moving fastI'd sit down on the living room floorAnd make a little more time last
Chorus
I love you more than you could ever knowMore than these old hands could showI'd trade every mile I've drivenFor one night back when you were smallI'd take the wrong turns out of my storyI'd listen when you called my nameI can't go back and raise you overBut I'd do my best to get it right again
Verse 2
There were bills spread on the tableThere were doors I should have closedThere were nights I brought my worry homeAnd let it fill the roomYou learned to tie your own shoesWhile I was chasing down a checkI called it giving you a better lifeI should've given you myself
Pre‑Chorus
Now your pictures fill my hallwayAnd your voices fill my phoneFunny how a house can hold a childhoodLong after childhood's gone
Chorus
I love you more than you could ever knowMore than these old hands could showI'd trade every mile I've drivenFor one night back when you were smallI'd take the wrong turns out of my storyI'd listen when you called my nameI can't go back and raise you overBut I'd do my best to get it right again
Bridge
If heaven keeps a little porch lightFor the things we couldn't mendI'd bring the patience I was missingAnd I'd meet you there againNo grand speech, no perfect answerJust my hand inside your handAnd enough time to say I'm sorryAnd enough time to understand
Final Chorus
I love you more than you could ever knowMore than these old hands could showSo if you hear me singing, childrenKnow you're still my greatest songI'd take the wrong turns out of my storyI'd listen when you called my nameI can't go back and raise you overBut I'd do my best to get it right againYes, I'd do my best to get it right again
Outro
I love you more than you could ever knowMore than these old hands could showCome on, sing it with me, childrenYou're the reason I came home
