Collin Raye Dear Life Lyrics

Dear Life Lyrics

(G. Lesage/C. Dannemiller)



I watched you begin, my child, See you
fading in your father’s face.

For the first time I’m in the mirror,
looking both ways

At where I’ve been and where I’m headed

It makes
me want to live each day like I may not get it.



Dear Life, from my
very first breath,

You were one step ahead

Of where I thought I was
going

Dear Life,when I loved and I lost

Somehow at all cost

You
kept me holdin’ on, for

Dear Life, through the healing and
scars

Through all you’ve showed me so far

I see how precious you are,
Dear Life.



I was bound to give away my heart and have it handed back to
me

Until you led me to the one that was always meant to be

I’d’ve
never known joy if I never knew sorrow

When I didn’t know how to face
tomorrow



Dear Life, from my very first breath,

You were one step
ahead

Of where I thought I was going

Dear Life,when I loved and I
lost

Somehow at all cost

You kept me holdin’ on, for

Dear Life,
through the healing and scars

Through all you’ve showed me so far

I
see how precious you are, Dear Life.



For once I’m gonna rest in the
arms of the unknown

And wait to watch you unfold



Dear Life, from
my very first breath,

You were one step ahead

Of where I thought I was
going

Dear Life,when I loved and I lost

Somehow at all cost

You
kept me holdin’ on, for

Dear Life, through the healing and
scars

Through all you’ve showed me so far

I see how precious you are,
Dear Life.
