In the quiet of the evening
Beneath the twilight sky
I think about the days gone by
How the time has flown by
You had a little chicken coop
Out by the apple tree
Where the morning sun would rise and
Set the world free
Oh, how I miss those days, your laughter and your smile
Wish that heaven had a visiting day to sit and chat a while
Oh, those simple times with you, they always stay
Wish that heaven had a visiting day just for today
You'd make those apple dumplings with love in every bite
The kitchen smelled of cinnamon on a cool autumn night
And you'd laugh about the little things like a five dollar pie
Amazing how it's still so cheap
You'd say with a twinkle in your eye
Oh, how I miss those days, your laughter and your smile
Wish that heaven had a visiting day to sit and chat a while
Oh, those simple times with you, they always stay
Wish that heaven had a visiting day just for today
And every time I see an owl perched up in the trees
I think about your wisdom and the peace it brought to me
In dreams I feel you near me, whispering soft and low
I'm always here beside you, more than you'll ever know
Oh, how I miss those days, your laughter and your smile
Wish that heaven had a visiting day to sit and chat a while
Oh, those simple times with you, they always stay
Wish that heaven had a visiting day just for today
In the quiet of the evening beneath the twilight sky
I hold on to those memories and let the teardrops dry
Oh, how I miss you dearly in each and every way
Wish that heaven had a visiting day just for today
