\nI think about you every day
\nI miss you so much<\/em><\/strong><\/p>\n

Gill was inspired to write this track after reading about a real-life tragedy. In the mid-\u201990s, a young girl, Adriane Dickerson, was shot outside of a supermarket in Nashville, Tennessee. Naturally moved by this story, Gill decided to empathize with the parents of this story.<\/p>\n

Gill has many sad songs at his disposal, but few are as devastating as this one. While \u201cGo Rest High on That Mountain\u201d is Gill\u2019s most famous somber ballad, this track is equally as revered. It\u2019s impossible to get through this song with a dry eye.
