The Pain of An Empty Window

From the outside looking in I can see as plain as day What few others ever thought of I guess I'm cursed in that way If you look out I bet you'll get to know The pain of an empty window It held a nose streak and some paw prints That now live in my heart I watched my grandma and my grandpa Wave every time that we'd part Watched my son learn to play ball Not so long ago That's a broken, memory I'll have you know The pain of an empty window I remember the first winter She ever spent with me We sat there under blankets It was better than TV 40 years of Christmas lights Strung out in the snow Now how I miss, their soft romantic glow Through the pain of an empty window There was a nose streak and some paw prints That now live in my heart I watched my grandma and my grandpa Wave every time that we'd part Watched my son learn to play ball Not so long ago That's a broken, memory I'll have you know The pain of an empty window Saw my last child off to school How did time pass so fast Its hard to see what memories Are reflected in the glass If you look out I bet you'll get to know The pain of an empty window
