Lyrics
A face in a picture took my place for a while
But I know that I’m still in your heart
My place at the table has been empty so long
But soon I’ll be ready to start
Chorus
So put another chair at the table
Set another place there for me
I know that you’ve been blue
I know you’ve missed me too
But now I’m coming home to you, my dear
So put another chair at the table
Put another chair there for me
The time will soon be here
When I’ll be sitting there
Right back where I belong
So put another chair at the table
Put another chair there for me
