lyrics
VERSE 1
Danny I just can't start the season without you,
My glove's still at its place on the attic stairs.
Caught my first bus all the way to Boston,
It was weird to see them play without you there.
PRE-CHORUS 1
Oh, you know, the Sox are looking pretty good this year,
With Papi swinging this way, there's nothing to fear...
CHORUS
Danny you know when Ma's in bed at night,
I'll bring, I'll bring a candle from downstairs.
Place it on the countertop and honest in its light,
I'll pray, I'll pray to see you home alright.
God knows what I'd give to wear this on my sleeve,
But you knew that already...
And Danny don't you worry got my end up tight,
I'll be, I'll be strong for all of us.
VERSE 2
I walk to school on most of these mornings,
Ma's still asleep on the couch in the den.
No I ain't seen her this bad in ages,
It's just like Dad walked out all over again...
PRE-CHORUS 2
But I don't mean to put this all on you,
No, that's the last thing I'd want to do...
CHORUS
Danny you know when Ma's in bed at night,
I'll bring, I'll bring a candle from downstairs.
Place it on the countertop and honest in its light,
I'll pray, I'll pray to see you home alright.
God knows what I'd give to wear this on my sleeve,
But you knew that already...
And Danny don't you worry got my end up tight,
I'll be, I'll be strong for all of us.
BRIDGE
Well I broke down yesterday on the walk back home,
Thank God no one was there, thank God I was alone,
And even if I'm dying inside, at least I can still pretend,
I'll hide these thoughts right here in this letter, never sent...
OUTRO
Danny you know, when ma's in bed at night,
I'll be, Ill be strong for all of us.
