“Love Lives On”
I reached for you this morning
Woke up with empty arms
Once again, it’s sinking in
How far away you are
I still pour two cups of coffee
And tell you all about my dreams
This kitchen’s way too quiet
You should still be here with me
And even though I cry like crazy
Even though it hurts so bad
I’m thankful for the time God gave me
Even though we couldn’t make it last
I’m learning how to live without you
Even though I don’t want to
And even with you gone
Love lives on
I still call your mom on Sundays
Yeah, it’s good to hear her voice
She always tells me that same story
About her stubborn little boy
And I kept your favorite t-shirt
You know the one I used to hate?
Ain’t it funny how it’s the one thing now
I just can’t throw away?
And even though I cry like crazy
Even though it hurts so bad
I’m thankful for the time God gave me
Even though we couldn’t make it last
I’m learning how to live without you
Even though I don’t want to
And even with you gone
Love lives on
She comes with me on your birthday
Little flowers in her hands
She’s always known there’s something missing
But too young to understand
And someday she’s gonna ask me
What kind of man you were
I’ll tell her all the ways I loved you
And all of you I see in her
And even though I cry like crazy
Even though it hurts so bad
I’m thankful for the world God gave me
And she’s the perfect way you’ll make it last
I’m learning how to live without you
Baby, I don’t want you to
But even with you gone
Love lives on
Baby, love lives on
Love lives on
Oh, yeah
I reached for you this morning
Woke up with empty arms
