|
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 you 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 |
|
FloridaShe 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 |
