When I'll Miss You The Most Lyrics

When the sunrise climbs the pine trees
And hides behind the evergreen
I watch the shadows slowly walk
The way up Chestnut Street

With a steaming cup of coffee
And the paper by my side
I can't bring myself to read it
Cause I know your life's inside

And as the years spread out before me
And the seasons come and go
When the autumn leaves dance on the breeze
That's when I'll miss you most

They'll be setting up their lawn chairs
To the band as they march by
Shake their hands at ancient army men
Who are too damn old to die

And if heaven's full of angels
This town is full of ghosts
But when fireworks fly from the Earth
That's when I'll miss you most

All these little reminders
Clinging like ice to the eaves
Christmas lights by the fire
But it's only me

As the years spread out before me
And the seasons come and go
When the house is dark and quiet
That's when I'll miss you most
