Without you

 

My headlights sweep across         the bricks           that made up our home

Never thought              I’d be living           here alone

I try to gather               the strength             to go in side

Last time I was in there          you were         still my bride

I sit on the steps            as the tears             start to run

She was taken by a teenager          drinking            and crusin’ for fun

 

CHOURS

Took her death to make me see         just how much you meant to me

Without you               who will I talk to when I cry alone

Without you               who will be there to bring me back home

Without you                I’m separated from love in my life

Without you               How can I ever make things right

 

V2

Visited the jail cell               to see               her killer there

I didn’t find the devil          just a kid         with curly hair

I took him in my arms       and with help        from above

He cried as I forgave him       and told           of God’s love

He said if God        can help you forgive      of what I’ve done

Do you think          he could have the love     to save this one?

 

REPEAT CHOURS 

Bridge

Now she’s gone         but my new brother’s             making a stand

Preaching to              the prisoners       every time he can

He tells me             when his time in here           is done

He’s going to tell          the gospel             to everyone

 

CHOURS

Took her death to make him see         just how much You meant to me

Without You               who will he talk to when he cries alone

Without You               who will be there to bring him back home

Without You                he’s separated from love in his life

Without You               how can he ever make things right
