Lyrics
Verse:
We're here in the dark, Jack Daniels and me
In this moonlit room filled with memories
Silent reminders of the best years of my life
Baby I miss you
Baby I miss you tonight
Verse:
The dog-eared book that made you cry
That turquoise ring that caught your eye
A birthday card you never got to write
Baby I miss you
Baby I miss you tonight
Bridge:
We said our vows through tears and laughter
In front of friends and family
Looking for our happy ever after
Not knowing how short it would be
Verse:
A satin scarf that covered your head
The shallow hollow on your side of the bed
Where you held my hand as you finally gave up the fight
Baby I miss you
Baby I miss you tonight
Tag:
I'll always love you
And baby I miss you tonight
