Without you...





I found a photo of us just yesterday
You were holding me and I was just eight
It's nice to see us together that way
Like a memory that will never fade....

I don't know how I'll walk down the road
Without your hand to hold
I don't know how I'll smile during the day
Without seeing your face
I don't know how to tell a lie from the truth
I don't know how I'll find me
Without you....

Time has a way of taking you by the hand
And forcing you to follow
When all you want to do is look back
To the past
And forget about tomorrow
I hear people say "live for today"
But it's so hard to do when you're haunted by the memories
Of a thousand yesterdays

I don't know how I'll walk down the road
Without your hand to hold
I don't know how I'll smile during the day
Without seeing your face
I don't know how to tell a lie from the truth
I don't know how I'll find me
Without you

It's getting so hard to remember
The little things, like the glimmer in your eyes
The way you used to carry me around..
And the way you told me stories at night
Why do I feel like it's time to surrender?
Letting go, moving on
Seems so hard to do now that I m supposed to be grown...

I don't know how I'll walk down the road
Without your hand to hold
I don't know how I'll smile during the day
Without seeing your face
I don't know how to tell a lie from the truth
I don't know how I'll find me
Without you....

I see you everytime I see
A child walking past me,
A kid on those swings in the garden,
Another learning to ride a bicycle,
Someone leaving for college
In everything around me..

I don't know how I'll walk down the road
Without your hand to hold
I don't know how I'll smile during the day
Without seeing your face
I don't know how to tell a lie from the truth
I don't know how I'll find me
Without you

I never knew how high I could fly
Until I was forced to try
So I'll take out another photograph
Just to remember the life you gave me
And taught me to live
Without you....
