Empty Chair - written by Dana Snyder and David Freeman

VERSE 1:
Time to rescue the folding chairs
From their prison under the stairs
Gathering dust when no one’s here
Welcoming the crowd about to appear

VERSE 2:
Casserole dishes, serving trays
Return to their usual counter space
A familiar scene set to unfold
Not like before if you didn’t know - that there’s

CHORUS:
An empty chair at the table
Reminding me what used to be
All too aware we won’t be able
To ever, fill that seat

VERSE 3:
We bow our heads then raise a toast
Try our best at cracking jokes
We dance and sing to our favorite tunes
But one less voice fills up the room - cause there’s

CHORUS

BRIDGE:
Some day, there’ll be new kids in those old folding chairs
And new grown ups noticing, that there’s

CHORUS (2X)
