Vacant Chair (Album Version) - Kathy Mattea[00:00:00]

Shall meet but we shall miss him[00:00:06]

There will be one vacant chair[00:00:12]

We shall linger to caress him[00:00:18]

While we breathe our evening prayer[00:00:23]

When a year ago we gathered[00:00:29]

Joy was in his mild blue eye[00:00:35]

But a golden chord is severed[00:00:40]

And our hopes in ruin lie[00:00:46]

We shall meet but we shall miss him[00:00:52]

There will be one vacant chair[00:00:58]

We shall linger to caress him[00:01:04]

While we breathe our evening prayer[00:01:09]

At our fireside sad and lonely[00:01:27]

Often will the bosom swell[00:01:33]

At remembrance of the story[00:01:39]

How our noble Willie sell[00:01:44]

How he strove to bear our banner[00:01:50]

Through the thickest of the fight[00:01:56]

And uphold our country's honor[00:02:01]

In the strength of manhood's night[00:02:07]

Well shall meet but we shall miss him[00:02:13]

There will be one vacant chair[00:02:19]

We shall meet linger to caress him[00:02:25]

While we breathe our evening prayer[00:02:30]

True they tell us wreaths of glory[00:02:48]

Ever more will deck his brow[00:02:54]

But this soothes the anguish only[00:03:00]

Sweeping o'er our heartstrings now[00:03:05]

Sleep today Oh early fallen[00:03:11]

In thy green and narrow bed[00:03:17]

Dirges from the pine and cypress[00:03:23]

Mingle with the tears we shed[00:03:29]

We shall meet but we shall miss him[00:03:35]

There will be one vacant chair[00:03:40]

We shall meet linger to caress him[00:03:46]

While we breathe our evening prayer[00:03:52]
