This Life

1 Intro: verse 1: I come in to tuck her in I'm so tired from where I've been Doing all I can to stay awake As she goes on about her day I hang on every word she says She reaches out and puts her hand in mine Pre-Chorus For a moment We are here together And it hits me that this won't last forever We can't own it We just get to hold it for a while This life We can't keep it Or save it for another time This life verse 2: He was always there for me Now he's fighting just to breathe I tell him it's ok to let go As I look into his eyes I know that this won't be the last time But for now, we're taking different roads Pre-Chorus Chorus Bridge: What we give is all we have How we love is what will last And this hope we know will carry us through What we give is all we have How we love is what will last And this hope we know will carry us through This life What we give is all we have How we love is what will last And this hope we know will carry us through This life What we give is all we have How we love is what will last And this hope we know will carry us through We can't own it (What we give is all we have) We just get to hold it for a while (How we love is what will last) This life (And this hope we know, and this hope we know) We can't keep it (What we give is all we have) Or save it for another time (How we love is what will last) This life (And this hope we know, and this hope we know) Ending: We were never meant to stay So we don't have to be afraid Of what is waiting on the other side Of this life
