George Canyon I Want You To Live Lyrics

I Want You To Live Lyrics

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 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
