George Canyon - I Want You to Live lyrics

rate me

When she got the news

The phone hit the floor

She fell to her kness

and cried his name

He just kissed her lips

Both of the kids, their lives will never be the same

The end of her hardest day

The only word she could say was

I want you to live

I want you to love

I wanna go back to the way it was

To you hear you say my name again

I wanna see your smile again

I want you to live

Takes all of her strength

to go through his things

It feels like shes holding him again

The letters he wrote

books that he'd read and some of the shirts still have 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 wanna go back to the way it was

to hear you say my name again

I wanna see your smile again

Lying awake in the middle of the night

trying not to let the kids hear her cry

Shes prays for an answer

some little sign

Close 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 all right

I want you to fall in love again

I want to see your smile again

and again

I want you to live
