When she got the news
|
The phone hit the floor
|
She fell to her knees,
|
And cried his name
|
|
He had just kissed her lips,
|
And both of the kids
|
Their lives will never be the same
|
|
The end of her hardest day
|
The only words she could say were,
|
I want you to live,
|
I want you to love,
|
I want to go back to the way it was,
|
To hear you say my name again,
|
I want to see your smile again
|
I want you to live
|
|
It takes all of her strength
|
To go through his things
|
It feels like she's holding him again
|
The letters he wrote, books that he'd read
|
And some of his shirts still had his scent
|
The picture in Florida
|
She holds to her heart and cries out loud
|
|
I want you to live,
|
I want you to love,
|
I want to go back to the way it was,
|
To hear you say my name again,
|
I want to see your smile again,
|
|
Lying awake in the middle of the night
|
Trying not to let the kids hear her cry
|
She prays for an answer, some little of sign
|
And closes her eyes
|
And swears she hears him say,
|
|
I want you to live,
|
I want you to love
|
I want you to go on and not give up
|
I want you to live,
|
I want you to try,
|
I want you to know that I'm alright
|
|
I want you to fall in love again
|
I want to see you smile again
|
And again,
|
I want you to live
|
|

I Want You To Live
