Would Have Loved Her

(Album: Chris Bandi - 2020)

Hey pops, I ain't been around
I know, I was just down at mama's house
And she told me I should swing on by see ya 'fore I roll outta here

Yeah I, I think I met the one
But I, I don't wanna jump the gun
We been out a few times and it feels like I've known her for years

She's from a small town just like you
She's got a smile that could light up the room
She's pretty as a hallelujah
But don't let it fool ya
'Cause she'll dance when she drinks
And she'll say what she thinks
She makes me a better man like you did
I miss you and wish you could just meet each other
'Cause I bet you would've loved her

Hey pops, that girl I told ya 'bout
Yeah we, we've been married a couple months now
And we saved you a spot next to mama on that front church pew

Yeah, I bet you would've loved our wedding band
I bet you would've slid in and stole a dance
I bet you would've cried
I bet you would've laughed
I bet you would've loved it when she called you dad

She's from a small town just like you
She's got a smile that could light up the room
She's pretty as a hallelujah
But don't let it fool ya
'Cause she'll dance when she drinks
And she'll say what she thinks
She makes me a better man like you did
I miss you and wish you could just meet each other
'Cause I bet you would've loved her

Hey pops, you know I hate to cry
But I, I just let 'em rain that night
That I held your grandbaby in my hands for the very first time

'Cause she's got brown eyes just like you
Her mama's glow that could light up the room
She's pretty as a hallelujah
And that smile that'll do something to ya
She'll dance when I sing
And she's my everything
She makes me a better man like you did
I miss you and wish you could just meet each other
'Cause I know you would've loved her
Oh yeah
Dad, I know you would've loved her
