Light the candle, sing us a song
Sing it loudly and I'll sing along
I love our parties, you always come by
But something's different this time
Empty chair at the table
There's a space where you should be
Couldn't make it to the party, uh huh
Guess you had somewhere to be
Tell a joke, I love your laugh
Entertain us, I'm your biggest fan
What's a party if you're not around?
Might as well shut it down
Empty chair at the table
There's a space where you should be
Couldn't make it to the party, uh huh
Guess you had somewhere to be
I'm not mad you couldn't make it
And I know it's not your fault
I just needed you to be here, uh huh
How can I party when you're gone
Empty chair at the table
Nothing I say, nothing I do
Can bring you back, I'm missing you
The party ended way too soon
Gotta close my eyes to imagine you
Imagine you
Sitting here beside me
But that isn't the truth
Empty chair at the table
There's a space where you should be
Couldn't make it to the party, uh huh
Guess you had somewhere to be
I'm not mad you couldn't make it
And I know it's not your fault
I just needed you to be here, uh huh
How can I party when you're gone
How can I party when you're gone
