When she got the news
The phone hit the floor
She fell to her knees
And cried his name

He'd 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 wanna go back to the way it was
To hear you say my name again
I wanna 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 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
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

I want you to live
