When We Fall Apart (feat. Vince Gill & Amy Grant)

You were 43 when you got the news
 Life will be changing, nothing we can do
 The clock is ticking now
 All I can think about
 Is knowing I have to move on without you somehow
 And I just can't believe
 That you're the one who's keeping it together
 As you hold my hand and say
 It's okay to cry
 It's okay to fall apart
 You don't have to try
 To be strong when you are not
 And it may take some time to make sense of all your thoughts
 But don't ever fight your tears
 'Cause there is freedom in every drop
 Sometimes the only way to heal a broken heart is when we fall apart
 You ask me to sing
 Some songs that I wrote
 And I can barely speak
 Barely play a note
 All my tears rush in
 Falling on my strings
 And make the sound of these progressions have a different ring
 And I hate to say goodbye
 Knowing this will be the last time we're together
 As you close your eyes and say
 It's okay to cry
 It's okay to fall apart
 You don't have to try
 To be strong when you are not
 And it may take some time to make sense of all your thoughts
 But don't ever fight your tears
 'Cause there is freedom in every drop
 Sometimes the only way to heal a broken heart is when we fall apart
 Whoa-ooh-whoa-ooh-whoa
 And you've got the gift of mercy
 Don't ever think it's strange
 Yeah, not a curse, but it is a blessing to feel other people's pain
 Always love without condition
 Trust the Lord with all your heart
 There's healing in the story of your scars
 Well, it's been awhile
 Since you've been gone
 Sometimes I still catch myself trying to call your phone
 All the hopes and dreams we used to talk about
 They're still alive in me, and I just hope I make you proud
 Now I'm your legacy
 And it's your love still holding me together
 And I still hear you say
 It's okay to cry
 It's okay to fall apart
 You don't have to try
 To be strong when you are not
 And it may take some time to make sense of all your thoughts
 But don't ever fight your tears
 'Cause there is freedom in every drop
 Sometimes the only way to heal a broken heart is when we fall apart
 (Yeah, yeah, it's okay to fall)
 Sometimes the only way to heal a broken heart is when we fall apart
