Write you a sweet song
That would always stay
Cry 'til you fall asleep
Then you wither away
And just like that in a flash, I couldn't reach you
My oh my, what am I without you?
Is this the way that life goes?
There's one thing that you should know
I saw how your heart was so tired and out of breath, ooh
If we're meant to be, I'll pray on that and let God do the rest, ooh
I know all your favorites, the smell that you like
The sight that you love most and what gets you by
You know all my demons, you know all my pride
You know how to simmer me down like the lights
And just like in a flash, I couldn't reach you
My oh my, what am I without you?
Is this the way that life goes?
It's one thing you should know
I saw how your heart was so tired and out of breath, ooh
If we're meant to be, I'll pray on that and let God do the rest, ooh
Love of my life, if you're meant to be mine (if we're meant to be)
Love of my life, girl, if you're meant to be mine
Write you a sweet song that will always stay
Cry 'til you fall asleep, then you wither away
