lyrics

I’m standing at the screen door, looking out at where you used to play
My baby, you’d be all grown up now
This should be your graduation day

A million tears I have cried
If love alone could save you never would’ve died
If tears could build a ladder tall
Surely I’ve built thousands, but all they do is fall

Your friends are in the auditorium
You should be with them in your cap and gown
We should be packing you up for college
‘Cause you had big dreams, far bigger than this town

A million tears we have cried
If love alone could save you never would’ve died
If tears could build a ladder tall
Surely we’ve built thousands, but all they do is fall

That morning, when you left us
We had no time to say goodbye
Our hearts are forever broken
Lord, please kiss him and hold our angel tight

A million tears we have cried
If love alone could save you never would’ve died
If tears could build a ladder tall
Surely we’ve built thousands, but all they do is fall

Jaimee Harris Nashville, Tennessee

“She’s quick to pay homage to her musical heroes but Jaimee Harris is her own person, with her own voice. She’s got a natural songwriter’s instinct for the hard truths, and a voice that brings them home with a visceral punch. Pay attention.”

1st time i heard DeathWish, i turned it off. felt rushed, not the Isbell i've come to admire. really grab'd me when i took time to listen on the 2nd try. the writing on these songs stopped me in my tracks more than once. raw talent with just enough polish in the delivery. thankyou Jason + 400 for another keeper swirlingmadness
