Love Lives On

I reached for you this morning
Woke up with empty arms
Once again
It's sinking in
How far away you are

I still pour two cups of coffee
And tell you all about my dreams
This kitchen's way too quiet
You should still be here with me

And even though I cry like crazy
Even though it hurts so bad
I'm thankful for the time God gave me
Even though we couldn't make it last
I'm learning how to live without you
Even though I don't want to
And even with you gone
Love lives on

I still call your mom on Sundays
Yeah, it's good to hear her voice
She always tells me that same story
About her stubborn little boy

And I kept your favorite t-shirt
You know, the one I used to hate
Ain't it funny how
It's the one thing now
I just can't throw away

And even though I cry like crazy
Even though it hurts so bad
I'm thankful for the time God gave me
Even though we couldn't make it last
I'm learning how to live without you
Even though I don't want to
And even with you gone
Love lives on

She comes with me on your birthday
Little flowers in her hand
She's always known that somethings missing
But too young to understand
And some day she's gonna ask me
What kind of man you were
I'll tell her all the ways I loved you
And all of you I see in her

And even though I cry like crazy
Even though it hurts so bad
I'm thankful for the time God gave me
And she's the perfect way to make it last
I'm learning how to live without you
Baby I don't want to
But even with you gone
Love lives on

Baby love lives on, love lives on
Oh oh oh oh yeah
I reached for you this morning
Woke up with empty arms
