Life Without You

Your clothes are hanging in the closet,

Your shoes are sitting on the floor,

Your favorite meal is on the table,

Waiting for you to come thru the door

Days go by without meaning

My reason for living is gone

Without you here beside me,

This house no longer feels like home

Memories of your laughter echo in my mind

Your smiling face haunts my dreams

How do I keep on breathing,

When everything inside me is dead, it seems

Everyone says how special you were

That you touched so many lives

Do they really mean it

Or is it just something they say

When someone dies?

The way that you smiled, that contagious grin,

Your hand in mine as we said our prayers

Your voice singing along with Tim McGraw,

I want to see, feel, and hear them again

My heart knows you’re with Jesus

But heaven just doesn’t seem real

My brain refuses to accept that you’re gone,

My body refuses to feel

They say that the day will come

When it no longer hurts so much

I’ll miss you until the day I die

Until I once again feel your touch

If you can look down and see me,

Please don’t be sad

I’ll see you someday soon, Son,

And that makes my heart glad

I know one day we’ll be together forever

In a world where no one dies

Where there’s no blindness or disease,

And we’ll never have to say good-by
