Story Behind The Song

Jeff saw an obituary about a man who lost his wife and it ended with "I'll See You Soon" and this inspired the story in this song.

Song Description

This song is about a man who misses his wife. In the song, the mans wife has died and although 25 years have passed, he keeps going about his normal daily routine as if she was still alive out of habit. He's sad, but he's hopeful because he knows one day, and one day soon, he will see her again and he looks forward to that day.

Lyrics

When I woke up this morning, I reached out for you
Like I always do
On your side of the bed there was nothing to find
Hasn't been for some time

It's been twenty-five years since you left me here
For a trip around the sun and the moon
But I'll see you soon

Thought about having breakfast but decided instead
To go back to bed
'Cause there's a chair at the table that sits next to mine
That still weighs on my mind
Where we used to kill time drinking cheap carton wine

Now it's quiet, silent as a tomb
But I'll see you soon

I woke up again at a quarter past two
Still thinking of you

And of the days we spent sleeping the afternoon through
Just 'cause we wanted to
Now it's just me in here trying hard to disappear

But only fading more into you
But I'll see you soon

One day I'll wake up to your warm loving touch
But for now, memories have to do
But I'll see you soon
Yes, I'll see you soon
