Verse I
I can see you in the bleachers, at a home football game,
Or riding with the top down, in your old red Mustang,
I still see you drinking coffee, at the café in town,
Playing with the puppy, you saved from the pound.
I hear all your corny jokes,
I read the letters that you wrote,
I hear the things you only ever said to me,

Chorus
But the time we had just wasn?t enough,
I?m, holding on, but I?m not that tough,
I remember you?d say,
When God takes you away,
Celebrate the time we had smiling,
And I would if I could only stop myself from crying


Verse II
My heart would beat faster, when you walked in the room,
And the days would fly by, when I spent them with you,
You were always my shelter, from life?s raging storms
A firmly planted anchor, that kept my life moored
You made me laugh when I would cry
You were my drink when I was dry,
You?ll never know how much you love has meant to me.


Chorus
But the time we had just wasn?t enough,
I?m, holding on, but I?m not that tough,
I remember you?d say,
When God takes you away,
Celebrate the time we had smiling,
And I would if I could only stop myself from crying

Bridge

I woke up still thinking that somehow I had lost you,
But I realized it was only a dream.
So I swore at that moment,
I wouldn?t waste another second
Of the time you have here with me,

Chorus
Cause the time we have, just isn?t enough,
I?m, holding on, lost in this love,
Cause I know one day,
God will take you away,
So I celebrate the time we have smiling,
But I?m so happy right now I can?t stop myself from crying,
But I?m so happy right now I can?t stop myself from crying,
