If Heaven Had a Front Porch lyrics

[Verse 1]
Pulled up the driveway, left the engine runnin'
Swear I saw the porch light and thought I heard you hummin’
Had a couple stories I couldn't wait to share
Heard the wind like a whisper, and you weren't there
Life comes at you fast, do your best to prepare
I still never heard you say, "Life isn’t fair"
I only heard you double down on there's power in a prayer
Lord knows, I pull up a chair

[Chorus]
If Heaven had a front porch, we'd sit on that swing
I'd thank you for watchin' over me and update you on somе things
I'd tell you 'bout a girl, and I wished you could meet her
I'd tеll you ’bout life’s been all without you
And you'd say, "It’ll get sweeter"

[Verse 2]
Would you tell me that you're proud or that I turned out alright?
Do you still hear me whisper when I miss you at night?
Is the fishin' any better? Does the coffee taste the same?
Would you tell me all the stories that you never got to say?
'Cause I’d tell you I miss you, and without you I'm hurt
And I'd ask you how you been, and God's like in person
You'd tell me He's great, just as you did before
I'd tell you everything and more
[Chorus]
If Heaven had a front porch, we'd sit on that swing
I thank you for watchin' over me and update you on some things
I'd tell you 'bout a girl, and I wished you could meet her
I'd tell you 'bout life's been all without you
And you'd say, "It'll get sweeter"

[Bridge]
I can't sleep, I'm on my knees
I'd like to meet, would you save me a seat?

[Chorus]
If Heaven had a front porch, we'd sit on that swing
I thank you for watchin' over me and update you on some things
I'd tell you 'bout a girl, and I wished you could meet her
I'd tell you 'bout life's been all without you
And you'd say, "It'll get sweeter"
