[Hook]

you lift me up
you know my name
you fill my cup
I’ll never be the same

this light of mine
I’ll let it shine
cause you know my name
I’ll never be the same again

[Verse 01]

it’s been a while since we talked last
let’s keep it real

it seems like everyone’s forgotten
but you never will

this life’s a rocky path
that we all move along

still putting flowers by my grave
but you don’t stay as long

friends come and go
but i ain’t coming back

it took you 8 months and a therapist to finally come to terms with that

journal every morning
every dream that you run into me

might not hear my voice again
but I’ll always be listening

So listen one last time
as you reading this letter

happiest I’ve ever been
was when we promised forever

honeymoon was in July
then i left in September

know that God still has plan
though we no longer together

[Hook]

you lift me up
you know my name
you fill my cup
I’ll never be the same

this light of mine
I’ll let it shine
cause you know my name
I’ll never be the same again

[Verse 02]

you told me you couldn’t keep living if I died first
I told you God will get you through it

that’s how life works
nobody knew me like you did

you could read my thoughts
You were the first to know I’m sick

you felt that somethings off
it started out with a cough

but every day it got deeper
doctors said I’d get better

but I just kept getting weaker
all our dreams put to an end

a final kiss goodbye
now I’ll keep waiting for eternity
so take your time

[Hook]

you lift me up
you know my name
you fill my cup
I’ll never be the same

this light of mine
I’ll let it shine
cause you know my name
I’ll never be the same again

[Verse 03]

it won’t be the same
but it gets easier

keep doing your best
follow the spirit

Jesus gave you
angels guiding your steps

left a piece of me with you
and you’ve been watching it grow

two months until the day
you bring our little girl home

momma and daughter matching outfits
a Christmas alone

missing the feeling of me there
so you still spray my cologne

pushing your stroller through the snow
days are quick to get dark

no one to shovel out the car
so it’s been staying in park

don’t feel like you’re betraying me
by going on dates

single motherhood is heavy
might need help with the weight

keep on singing to our baby
show her pictures of us

as she grows up you can tell her
about the man that I was
