The Love He Left Behind

I talk to him everyday

Even though he's oh-so-far away

And every night I lay in bed

And hug the pillow where he laid his head

And in my dreams I drift back to that high school kiss

And the night he put his class ring on my hand

I see our wedding day and it takes my breath away

Once again, like it did back then

I'm living on the love her left me

And he gave me so much love in such a little time

And that kind of love is hard to find

One day we'll meet again in that sweet by-and-by

But till we're back together

I'm living on the love he left behind

Our little boy down the hall

Is trying to teach me how to play baseball

Yesterday, I got choked up

When he said, Mommy, You use daddy's glove

I turned down a thousand bucks

For his old pick-up truck

I'm hangin' on to everything that's part of him

I'll hold him in my heart

Till I can hold him in my arms

Once again

But till then

I'm living on the love her left me

And he gave me so much love in such a little time

And that kind of love is hard to find

One day we'll meet again in that sweet by-and-by

But till we're back together

I'm living on the love he left behind

But till we're back together

I'm living on the love he left behind
