The Chair by the Window

Verse 1

The chair by the window
Still catches the sun
I still see your shadow
When morning has come

Your cup on the table
Your coat by the door
The house keeps remembering
The life from before

I turn for your answer
Though I know you’re not there
But love has a habit
Of staying in the air

Chorus

In the chair by the window
In the light on the floor
In the quiet of evening
I miss you more

You’re not in the doorway
You don’t call my name
But love has a way
Of staying the same

So I sit for a moment
Where you used to be
In the chair by the window
You still feel close to me

Verse 2

Your glasses, your trinkets
Your favourite old songs
The way you would tell me
I’d been worrying too long

The laugh in the kitchen
The hand on my arm
The ordinary magic
That made the world calm

I thought love would leave me
When goodbye came true
But love only changed
Into missing you

Final Chorus

In the chair by the window
In the light on the floor
In the quiet of evening
I miss you more

You’re not in the doorway
You don’t call my name
But love has a way
Of staying the same

So I sit for a moment
Where you used to be
In the chair by the window
You still feel close to me

Outro

The chair by the window
Still catches the sun
And somehow I feel you
When morning has come

The Story Behind The Song

The Chair by the Window was created as a tender remembrance song about the quiet places love leaves behind.

It is built around the small, ordinary details that become precious after someone has gone: a chair in the sunlight, a cup on the table, a coat by the door, a favourite song, a familiar laugh, and the feeling that the house still remembers them.

This song is for anyone who misses someone deeply, but still feels their love close in everyday moments. It is gentle, hopeful, and made to honour the kind of bond that does not disappear with goodbye.
