The hospital is too familiar
I've been in every room
My lung, my heart
It's never anything new
My family would visit me
For as long as they could
Put a smile on my face
When I wish I was at home
The doctors said I didn't have long
So they send me home that day
I laid in bed for a couple days
Not knowing what was to come
On my third day home
I was losing it all
Talking about things I didn't even know
Then it started to happen
I felt the pain
In my heart slowing down
I didn't want to go
My wife gave me some medicine
Which took the pain away
I listened to her voice so soft
I miss it every day
My son and granddaughter
Everyone heartbroken
I'd stay longer if I could
But something I can always promise
And this is very true
I'll always be in your hearts
Thinking of all of you
