If There's a Phone in Heaven

Sunrise creeps through the curtains slow,  
Another day, another cup of Joe.  
Your chair’s still there, but it’s empty now,  
And I talk to the silence somehow.
I keep your picture right by my bed,  
Whisper “goodnight” like you never left.  
And though the nights get long, I know…
I’ll see you mañana, someday down the line,  
When the good Lord calls my number, I’ll be right on time.  
Save me a seat on that front porch swing,  
Till I walk those streets of gold and hear you sing.  
It ain’t goodbye, it’s just a pause in the song,  
I’ll see you mañana… won’t be too long.
I still wear that old flannel you loved,  
Some days it feels like a warm touch.  
I hear your laugh when the wind rolls by,  
Like heaven’s leaning close to say hi.
I leave your Bible right where you’d pray,  
Turn to the pages you marked each day.  
And I swear I hear you say…
I’ll see you mañana, someday down the line,  
When the good Lord calls my number, I’ll be right on time.  
Save me a seat on that front porch swing,  
Till I walk those streets of gold and hear you sing.  
It ain’t goodbye, it’s just a pause in the song,  
I’ll see you mañana… won’t be too long.
Until that day, I’ll keep holding on,  
Living the life you’d want me to strong.  
But when the sun sets on my last ride,  
I know you’ll be waiting, arms open wide.
I’ll see you mañana, I’ll be home real soon,  
Under that sky, same bright silver moon.  
Save me a dance in the light so free,  
Where love don’t fade, and the soul stays free.  
It ain’t goodbye, it’s just a pause in the song,  
I’ll see you mañana… won’t be too long.

See You Manana

Ain t How It Went Down


I used to trust in forever...
I used to lean on a flame...
Now I’m afraid of the fire...
But I miss it the same...
Every kiss left a scar...
Every promise turned to dust...
Now I carry these ashes...
Where I used to carry trust...


I’d like to fall in love again...
But my heart’s been burned...
it’s paper-thin...
These feelings of mine... 
they’re all sinj'd up...
Like a broken match that won’t even spark... 
Lord, I’m standing here...
empty hands…
Waiting to fall...
Fall in love again...


There’s a woman with kind eyes...
She could light up the dark...
But I hide in the shadows...
Guarding what’s left of my heart...
It’s a battle between yearning...
And the fear of the flame...
I don’t wanna get shattered...
But I don’t wanna stay the same...


I’d like to be in love again...
But my heart’s been burned... 
it’s paper-thin...
These feelings of mine... 
they’re all sinj'd up...
Like a faded fire the embers still warm...
Yeah, I’m praying someday love will form...
And I can fall in love again...


Healing comes slowly...
Like the dawn through the rain...
Maybe love’s still out there...
Gentle enough for my pain...


I’d like to fall in love again...
Even if it hurts... 
where the fire’s been...
These feelings of mine are all sinj'd up,
But I’ve still got embers, I’ve still got love...
So I’ll take the risk... 
let the story begin…
And try to fall in love again.

if theres a phone in heaven
