You Were My Life

Yes I know you're leaving

And it's hard for me to cry

Yet when our time is over

A piece of me will die

You were my life

You were my light

You were not perfection

But you were heaven in my eyes

An indirect reflection

Of who I am and why

You were my life

You were my everything

You were my life

Don't leave me Don't leave me

Don't leave me here this way

I need you I need you

I need for you to stay

Can heaven wait just one more day

See nothing else can take your place

Can heaven wait just one more day

What I'd give just to hold you one last time

And thank you for all the joy you brought to my life

You showed me I could be more than what was made for me

Please don't think that I chose to walk away

I never meant to abandon you this way

I wish God gave me a second chance to say

You were life

You were my life, my light

What am I gonna do

Without you

Yes I know you're leaving
