She calls him dad

I see you staring at that kitchen chair
Waiting for a ghost who isnt there
You reach for the phone then put it down
The quiet in this town weighs like a crown
He was the one you call at three AM
The world feels small now without him
I watch you check the swing on the porch
Turn around and lock the door of course
You look for a truck that wont come anymore
You wear his flannel when the nights are cold
Holding all the stories that he told
I see your eyes begin to glaze and stray
Lost in a much simpler yesterday
He was your best friend you call him dad
Id trade the moon to bring him back to you
To go rabbit hunting like you used to do
To fill the holes and mend the cracks
To bring your very best friend back
Id give it all to see you smile
To have him stay a little while
I know he was your very best friend
The kind of love that never has to end
His name was David they called him Bo Pete
His little girl he called Duck Feet
He worked hard in that chicken barn
She was his princess his lucky charm
I wish I had the words to make it right
To help you make it through another night
Id build a ladder straight up to the stars
Just to bring him back to where you are
You wear his flannel when the nights are cold
Holding all the stories that he told
Id trade the moon to bring him back to you
To go rabbit hunting like you used to do
To fill the holes and mend the cracks
To bring your very best friend back
Id give it all to see you smile
To have him stay a little while
I know he was your very best friend
The kind of love that never has to end
I cant replace the man who made you who you are
But Ill be the hand you hold while you follow his star
Ill listen to the memories until your heart is full
Ill help you through the heavy pull
Id trade the moon to bring him back to you
To go rabbit hunting like you used to do 
To fill the holes and mend the cracks
To bring your very best friend back
Id give it all to see you smile
To have him stay a little while
I know he was your very best friend
The kind of love that never has to end
