Losing someone close to you can leave a lasting imprint on your life, and George Strait captures that beautifully here. This song reflects on the memories and simple moments shared with a loved one who's passed away. The narrator revisits familiar places and notices even the smallest details filled with memories of the departed. Wishing he could still share life's updates, like the growth of a great-grandson, he grapples with the heartfelt pain that each little thing evokes. Ultimately, it’s about finding bits of that person in everything around you and cherishing those memories forever.
Everything I See
Lyrics
Drove down to the old place a couple a days ago
Where I grew up riding next to you, learning everything I know
I noticed just how green things were when I pulled through the gate
Like the greener pastures up there where we'll meet again someday
Wish I'd have thought to slip a phone in the pocket of your suit
When the good Lord called you home on that sunny day in June
Then I could send a picture of all the things you touched
To think a man who led such a simple life could leave behind so much
It's just a lot of little things but they mean the world to me
Everywhere I look there's one more memory
There's a little bit of you in everything I see
Seems to rain now all the time, hadn't seen this much in years
Didn't take you long to send back home some answers to our prayers
A lot of things are different now but so much is still the same
And I accidentally dial your number almost every day
Wish I'd have thought to slip a phone in the pocket of your suit
When the good Lord called you home on that sunny day in June
Then I could send a picture of all the things you touched
To think a man who led such a simple life could leave behind so much
It's just a lot of little things but they mean the world to me
Everywhere I look there's one more memory
There's a little bit of you in everything I see
If somehow you could find that cloud with my stuff locked away
Dust it off and you could see the things I send you everyday
Yeah, I could send a picture of your great-grandson growing up
Tell you one more time I love you and that I miss you so much
Sometimes it's the little things that really get to me
Everywhere I look there's one more memory
There's a little bit of you in everything I see
Everywhere I look there's one more memory
There's a little bit of you in everything I see
