What Brings Life Also Kills

Dear, I'm writing this for you
 As I sat here in my sorrow
 Dear, I'm writing this for you
 As I contemplate tomorrow
 Why did it end so soon?
 They say just be thankful for the time that you had
 But it's hard to be thankful
 When what's dead is the only good that you ever had
 But I know there's somethin' in these hills
 And I know what brings life also kills
 So hold on and love strong
 Even when the one you love is gone
 And remember now what you didn't know then
 And how you wish you could take it all back
 'Cause you're gonna miss her
 And she's gonna miss you, too
 And dear, I'm writing this for you
 As I walk down our old favorite street
 You always loved the wintertime
 The coats, the scarfs the leaves and the trees
 I swear I still smell your perfume
 As I walk by our old favorite place to eat
 And I wonder if the pain will subside
 Or will my knees forever be this weak
 And I know there's somethin' in these hills
 And I know what brings life also kills
 So hold on, and love strong
 Even when the one you love is gone
 And remember now what you didn't know then
 And how you wish you could take it all back
 'Cause you're gonna miss her
 And she's gonna miss you
 And you're gonna miss her
 And she's gonna miss you, too
