It's just another simple voice mail message
I'll pick you up and we'll do dinner by the fire
And we'll just watch it snow
It's from a year ago
Baby I love you and I can't wait to see you tonight
I've been thinking 'bout you all day long
She pushes nine to save
She still can't erase
'Cause it makes her feel close
Makes her smile it's like he's with her almost
Till the tears take over she's still in hell
But she tells herself she's ready to let him go
'Cause that makes her feel close
It's just a worn out Notre Dame t-shirt
She's gotten mad and tried to throw
That thing away at least a hundred times
But she's got it on tonight
He used to wear it on the weekend just running around
Why he forgot he even left it behind
She says it keeps her warm
Oh, but it's so much more
It makes her feel close
Makes her smile it's like he's with her almost
Till the tears take over
She's still in hell
But she tells herself
She's ready to let him go
'Cause that makes her feel close
Just sayin' goodbye
Getting on with her life
Maybe give love another try
One more try
One more try
It makes her feel close
Makes her smile it's like he's with her almost
Till the tears take over
She's still in hell
But she tells herself
She's ready to let him go
'Cause that makes her feel close
