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
