Love Her Like I Lost Her

(album: Behind This Guitar - 2016)

I can hear tires screeching, breaking glass and twisting steel.
There were red lights flashing, an awful smelling smoke, and it was her behind the wheel.
That little blue car underneath that giant semi-truck.
Was my whole world ending, so thank God I woke up.

Just for a moment, I believed she'd been taken away from me.
And my life was changed, 'cause I felt the pain, even though it was just a dream.

So I made a vow starting right now that every look and smile, every touch and kiss would be longer, and sweeter, and softer, and I love her like I lost her.

Still holding my breath, I reached for the telephone.
I just had to know she was safe at home.
She probably thought I was crazy when I wouldn't let her off the line.
I bet I told her "I loved you" at least a thousand times.

Just for a moment, I believed she'd been taken away from me.
And my life was changed, 'cause I felt the pain, even though it was just a dream.

So I made a vow starting right now that every look and smile, every touch and kiss would be longer, and sweeter, and softer, and I love her like I lost her.
