I Want You to Live

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 was 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 The books that he read And some of the shirts still have his scent The picture in Florida She hold 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 you smile again The lion awake in the middle of the night Trying not to let the kids hear her cry She prays for an answer the sun will shine She closes her eyes And she 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 wont rise I want you to fall in love again I want to see you smile again (Again) I want you to live
