Empty Chair

V1.
You’re the one that we’re all missing
And the ties that bind us too
And right now they’re just scattered
These memories of you
We’ve all got our favorite moments
But it’s hard for us to share
How I wish for one more Christmas
To see you in that chair.

Chorus
There’s an empty chair at the table
Missing presents ‘round the tree
Every moment here without you
Feels like it shouldn’t be
In my dreams I still see your face
And feel the joy there’d always be
When you were sitting here each Christmas
In that empty chair with me

V2. 
I feel your laughter in my children
I see your love inside their eyes
And every second that I’m with them
It makes me realize
That these holidays are precious
And I’ll cherish them with glee
‘cause it won’t be long before the chair
might be missing me.

Chorus
There’s an empty chair at the table
Missing presents ‘round the tree
Every moment here without you
Feels like it shouldn’t be
In my dreams I still see your face
And feel the joy there’d always be
When you were sitting here each Christmas
In that empty chair with me

Bridge
Oh, so hang all the stockings
Deck the halls and light the tree
When we celebrate this Christmas
It will be with family.
But I know there’ll be a moment
When I look to find you there
And all I’ll see when I glance that way
Will be an empty chair

Final Chorus (outro)
There’s an empty chair 

Every moment here without you
Feels like it shouldn’t be
In my dreams I still see your face
And feel the joy there’d always be
When you were sitting here each Christmas

When you were sitting here each Christmas
In that empty chair with me

Sometime in the 1960s Hank Mullen’s friend and fellow Buffaloian Carl LaRue, an organ player, traveled with his group (Carl LaRue and His Crew) all the way to Phoenix, Arizona, where he’d secured a steady gig as the house band at the local Zanzibar club. Soon after starting the job, he would invite a young (16yr & 19yr old) vocal duo to perform some of their original songs in front of his band during shows. 

Ernest Johnson Jr. and Eddie (Edgar) William Campbell were eager to make it in music and for the next 10 odd years would attempt to do so.

They managed to record and release a handful of singles across varied imprints spread throughout the United States, from South Carolina to Chicago, from New York to Phoenix. One of their singles, “Time Waits for No One” hit #1 on New York’s WWRL, which subsequently landed on the bill at the Apollo, appearing alongside soul heavyweight’s Gene Chandler, Wilson Pickett, and the Temptations. Through ups and downs, none of their pair’s recordings ever served to catapult them to greater fame and sadly in the early 70’s, Eddie’s premature death would close the door on their partnership. 

One of the duo’s last recordings, “Bullets Don’t Have Eyes” was never released at the time of its creation in 1972. The 45 was eventually released on Daptone imprint Ever-Soul in 2009. 

There are two versions of the 45 available in the Super Soul Super Store. One with the b-side "In These Very Tender Moments" and another 45 which features a different b-side, "You Make My Life A Sunny Day," which is exclusively available in our shop.
