The Love That We Lost
Chely Wright Lyrics

Going through old dresser drawers
Searching through old things that held sentimental value to find what we lost

Fumbling through there closets
Rummaging through our belongings, determined to find what is missing

It's got to be here somewhere
We refuse to give up hope and believe that what we lost can still be found

I know it's round here somewhere
Our strong faith assures us that what we lost has not disappeared completely

Searching from room to room
Methodically looking through every corner of our home, hoping to stumble upon what we lost

We couldn't have just lost it
We are hopeful that what we lost could not have simply vanished without any explanation

Maybe we packed it up
We consider the possibility that what we lost may have been unintentionally put away when we were getting rid of other things

With college books and winter clothes
We remember other items that we put into storage when we packed up our things, which may inadvertently include what we lost

Things we thought were in the way
We now realize that we may have stuffed away what we lost with other things we deemed unnecessary or obtrusive

Out of style or just outgrown
We reflect on how we may have outgrown what we lost or how it may have become less important over time

We didn't give it away
We did not purposely discard what we lost or willingly let it go

We just left it alone
We neglected to take care of what we lost or to hold it in high enough esteem

We tried to find it one day
We made an effort to search for what we lost in the past

That's when we noticed it gone
Only upon thorough searching did we realize that what we lost was truly missing

I turned the house upside down
We became desperate in our search for what we lost, going through every nook and cranny to find it

Praying I'd stumble across
We are hoping for a stroke of luck or divine intervention in locating what we lost

Some sign that's it's still around
We are searching for any indication that what we lost still exists in some form within our lives

Got to find the love that we lost
Our ultimate goal is to recover what we lost, which holds great emotional value to us

Captured in old picture frames
Memories of what we lost are preserved in old photographs

Shinning in those faces
The faces of those whom we lost are etched within our minds and hearts

It used to be here somewhere
We recall a time when what we lost was present within our lives

I know it's still here somewhere
Our hope remains unshaken that what we lost still has a place in our lives

Reflected in our children's eyes
Our memories of what we lost are mirrored in our children and their experiences

How could we misplace it
We are in disbelief that what we lost could have disappeared or been misplaced so easily

It was more than just a box of junk
What we lost was not just a meaningless object, but held deep emotional significance

We stored away to gather dust
What we lost was forgotten and neglected over time

This was a dream we thought
What we lost was a cherished aspiration that we held dear

We always could reach out and touch
We believed that what we lost was always within our grasp and easily attainable
