"Fireside Chair"

I sit alone by the phone remembering
When you used to call
Your fireside chair is empty
The shawows of the flames
Dancing on the wall
Once you said you'd never leave me
But God called
Now I gaze into the fire
The flames flicker by night
While I sit on my fireside chair
Writing you this note
Your gentle hand embracing me
By day and by night
Oh I remember you
When we first met
Many years ago
We actually got into a fight
Now I look at your empty fireside chair
And there is no one about
The fire is a great comfort
Especially at night
I will keep our memories burning
Your fireside chair is waiting
For your spirit to return
Oh darling I loved you
You were my number one
The flames are flickering
Time for you to return
Darling Husband what has God done
Taken you away from me
From your fireside chair
