Coffee in Our Hands

Lyrics

[Verse 1] There's a quiet in the morning light Where your voice used to be An empty chair, an empty cup Where you once sat with me You were my rock when the world fell down When I lost the love of my life You held my hand, said "rise again" Through every storm and night [Chorus] Oh sweet Barbara, you're walking golden streets Reunited with the ones we miss Your love still carries me You taught me how to stand When I could barely breathe Oh mama, your love still lives in me [Verse 2] We'd drive for hours, nowhere to go Just coffee in our hands Laughing soft through window light Just a mother and her friend You fought your battle silently Never once a word of pain You wouldn't let me lay down low You told me, "rise again" [Chorus] Oh sweet Barbara, you're walking golden streets Reunited with the ones we miss Your love still carries me You taught me how to stand When I could barely breathe Oh mama, your love still lives in me [Bridge] January came, I had to let you go Home to daddy, home to my brother's soul Hardest thing this heart has ever known But love like yours is never gone [Verse 3] So I'll keep driving, coffee in my cup And I'll talk to you in prayer I'll carry every word you said Like a light upon the stair So much love is what you left A legacy of grace And every time I close my eyes I still can see your face [Chorus] Oh sweet Barbara, you're walking golden streets Reunited with the ones we miss Your love still carries me You taught Tonya how to stand When she could barely breathe Oh mama, your love still lives in me [Outro] I love you mom, I always will Your daughter's heart remembers still So much love, so much love
