It's just another simple voice mail message
I'll pick you up and we'll do dinner by the fire
And we'll 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
Probably 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
