You had that look on your face that seemed to say Come catch me if you can I was up for the challenge, ready to chase To call myself your man We don't have to have it all figured out We will learn together what it's all about Too good, too good to be true This life has got our number Too good, too good to be true Feels like waiting on thunder You laid it all on the line, if you want me Then you will find a way I knew what I had to do to make you mine Show you love every day We don't have to have it all figured out We will learn together what it's all about Too good, too good to be true This life has got our number Too good, too good to be true Feels like waiting on thunder You know the stars were aligned When we first met Our love was meant to be the kind No one will forget Too good, too good to be true This life has got our number Too good, too good to be true Feels like waiting on thunder Too good, too good to be true This life has got our number Too good, too good to be true Feels like waiting on thunder

I thought I saw your face again from the edge of the mirror It was only an illusion from a past reality I thought I heard you call my name from the shadows of the room It was only just an echo from a distant memory I look at your picture every time I leave I say goodbye to you Overcome with emotion for the thoughts I grieve In a world I never knew I feel like the real world has left me far behind Leaving me with nothing, just a time out of mind I thought I felt your presence from the confines of my life It was only just make-believe from another fantasy I thought I heard you call my name from the shadows of the room It was only just an echo from a distant memory I look at your picture every time I leave I say goodbye to you Overcome with emotion for the thoughts I grieve In a world I never knew I feel like the real world has left me far behind Leaving me with nothing, just a time out of mind I feel like the real world has left me far behind Leaving me with nothing, just a time out of mind I feel like the real world has left me far behind Leaving me with nothing, just a time out of mind

There were days when I did not want to speak All I craved was isolation I did not know what I even wanted I was in need of salvation There were those who wanted me over you They wanted me to live a lie I could not stand to even hear their words It all just made me want to cry Moment to moment in daily life My world was upside down Little by little I heard your voice It made me turn around You gave me guidance, you gave me strength I felt you in my heart You were there within, so then I knew We never were apart There were days when I needed so much help I felt so lost and so alone Some people I knew had deserted me They left me to fend for my own There were those who had betrayed all my trust When I needed a caring soul I felt so hurt by those who did not care It all has just taken its toll Moment to moment in daily life My world was upside down Little by little I heard your voice It made me turn around You gave me guidance, you gave me strength I felt you in my heart You were there within, so then I knew We never were apart Moment to moment in daily life My world was upside down Little by little I heard your voice It made me turn around You gave me guidance, you gave me strength I felt you in my heart You were there within, so then I knew We never were apart Moment to moment in daily life My world was upside down Little by little I heard your voice It made me turn around You gave me guidance, you gave me strength I felt you in my heart You were there within, so then I knew We never were apart

I will close my eyes and take you with me To that special place in the cosmic sea We will fly so high and we will be free To swim the ocean of this galaxy I am so thankful to have shared my life with you All the things that we have done and all the dreams that came true In this life I will remember To honor you with all the love I can So next life, when we meet again Our love will transcend the great divine plan Deep within my heart you are still with me You are my guiding light so that I may see I am so thankful to have shared my life with you All the things that we have done and all the dreams that came true In this life I will remember To honor you with all the love I can So next life, when we meet again Our love will transcend the great divine plan Fly, won't you fly, love where you need to love Find what you need to find, be who you need to be Know I am here to call upon I love you now, always and forever Deep within my heart you are still with me You are my guiding light so that I may see

It feels like I am being tortured by life I am all-consumed with the emptiness inside Your love has been ripped so far out of my life I am all alone now, so many tears I have cried How will I ever live without you I cannot stand this aching heart Nothing in life seems real anymore You were my world, now it's torn apart I just want to reach over and hold your hand To look in your eyes and see your beautiful smile Everything I see just reminds me of you I just wish you could come home and stay with me a while How will I ever live without you My life feels so cold and lonely This is becoming so unbearable Somehow please find your way back to me We had the kind of love you would never find in a million lifetimes How will I ever live without you I cannot stand this aching heart Nothing in life seems real anymore You were my world, now it's torn apart How will I ever live without you My life feels so cold and lonely This is becoming so unbearable Somehow please find your way back to me We had the kind of love you would never find in a million lifetimes We had the kind of love you would never find in a million lifetimes We had the kind of love you would never find in a million lifetimes We had the kind of love you would never find in a million lifetimes

I really miss talking to you None of this makes sense anymore I feel so sad, seeing you in pain I never felt like this before You called me over to you You looked so deep into my eyes You wanted me to hold you You needed me to realize Our love will last forever Now eternity holds our bond No matter what will happen We're together now and beyond I kissed your lips when you told me All I ever wanted was you I held your hand and I told you All I ever want is you too You called me over to you You looked so deep into my eyes You wanted me to hold you You needed me to realize Our love will last forever Now eternity holds our bond No matter what will happen We're together now and beyond Then you told me with a worried look I am so scared Then I told you, as I held you tight I am scared too But we can be scared together Our love will last forever Now eternity holds our bond No matter what will happen We're together now and beyond Our love will last forever Now eternity holds our bond No matter what will happen We're together now and beyond

I don't want to sit here watching movies anymore But I don't know what to do with my life I don't see the beauty in anything anymore Beauty I found was living with my wife She was my angel, she was my soul She was my nexus, she was my heart I feel like there's nothing left here for me anymore Just old memories of how things once were I feel no connection to anything anymore My only connection was loving her She was my nexus, she was my heart She was my purpose, she was my love I'm not looking for your sympathy I just really need to get this out I'm going through hell every day She's the one I cannot live without I will never be able to hold her anymore To feel her touch or the warmth of her kiss I will never see meaning in anything anymore All meaning for me is a dark abyss She was my purpose, she was my love She was my angel, she was my soul She was my nexus, she was my heart She was my purpose, she was my love

Who knows how long I have to stay Sometimes I slowly drift away Lately my luck has been so bad I am losing all I ever had I just want to be here together with you I don't want to leave all I know I just want to be here forever with you Won't you hold me and don't let go Just how much time do I have left Nothing can justify this theft There are no more tears that I owe I am so scared and don't want to go I just want to be here together with you I don't want to leave all I know I just want to be here forever with you Won't you hold me and don't let go I just want to be here together with you I don't want to leave all I know I just want to be here forever with you Won't you hold me and don't let go I just want to be here together with you I don't want to leave all I know I just want to be here forever with you Won't you hold me and don't let go Don't you let go Don't let go Don't you let go

I Wish This 06:30
These last few months have been so difficult Knowing what was headed our way We closed our eyes and tried not to believe Just to make it through another day I stayed with you as you suffered through Trying to push away the pain We tried so hard not to break down and cry Knowing we could never stop the rain You were worried and sad, so frustratingly mad I did not know what to say I tried to make it right, as I held you so tight I whispered your fears away I wish this was never happening I wish this all away I wish these dreams of ours Could see the light of day You said, why is life so unfair, oh why I really don't deserve this fate Why does everyone else get to live? Why can't the reaper push back the date You were worried and sad, so frustratingly mad I did not know what to say I tried to make it right, as I held you so tight I whispered your fears away I wish this was a work of fiction I wish this was not real I wish these facts of life Were not part of the deal I wish this into oblivion I wish this gone today I wish these wheels of life Would turn some other way I wish this

It is my privilege to keep your memory alive As much as I can, I am going to say your name Moving forward, I will keep your love forever at heart Life after life, your love and memory will remain I will smile and laugh when I think of you I know you are with me every day As my courage returns when the sun shines I will think of the words you used to say Hey, hey It is my privilege to keep your memory alive As much as I can, I am going to say your name Moving forward, I will keep your love forever at heart Life after life, your love and memory will remain I have a sacred space for you within A place I'll return to remember when I know that you want me to carry on I will make it through and I'll live again Hey, hey It is my privilege to keep your memory alive As much as I can, I am going to say your name Moving forward, I will keep your love forever at heart Life after life, your love and memory will remain Life after life, I learn how to cope Life after life, I go with the flow Life after life, I believe in hope Life after life, I learn to let go Life after life, I return to love Life after life, I honor you true Life after life, I will rise above Life after life, I return to you
