Lyrics
[Verse 1]
I was just a kid running through her kitchen door
She'd be at the stove or sitting on the porch
Every single time she'd open up her arms
And say those words that still live in my heart
[Chorus]
"Come here, let me hug your neck"
Never heard nobody else say it quite like that
I'd run into her arms, didn't know back then
How much I'd miss those words when I got older and
Life moved on and she was gone
Now there's nothing I wouldn't give to hear again
"Come here, let me hug your neck"
[Verse 2]
Time has a way of taking what we love
The house is someone else's now, her things all boxed up
But I still hear her voice in my memory
Calling me back home to where I used to be
[Chorus]
"Come here, let me hug your neck"
Never heard nobody else say it quite like that
I'd run into her arms, didn't know back then
How much I'd miss those words when I got older and
Life moved on and she was gone
Now there's nothing I wouldn't give to hear again
"Come here, let me hug your neck"
[Bridge]
If Heaven's got a porch
I know she's waiting there
With open arms
[Chorus]
Saying "come here, let me hug your neck"
Never heard nobody else say it quite like that
I'd run into her arms, didn't know back then
How much I'd miss those words when I got older and
Life moved on and she was gone
Now there's nothing I wouldn't give to hear again
"Come here, let me hug your neck"
[Outro]
Come here, let me hug your neck
