Collin Raye - Dear Life lyrics

(G. Lesage/C. Dannemiller)

I watched you begin, my child, See you fading in your father抯 face.

For the first time I抦 in the mirror, looking both ways

At where I抳e been and where I抦 headed

It makes me want to live each day like I may not get it.

Dear Life, from my very first breath,

You were one step ahead

Of where I thought I was going

Dear Life,when I loved and I lost

Somehow at all cost

You kept me holdin?on, for

Dear Life, through the healing and scars

Through all you抳e showed me so far

I see how precious you are, Dear Life.

I was bound to give away my heart and have it handed back to me

Until you led me to the one that was always meant to be

I抎抳e never known joy if I never knew sorrow

When I didn抰 know how to face tomorrow

Dear Life, from my very first breath,

You were one step ahead

Of where I thought I was going

Dear Life,when I loved and I lost

Somehow at all cost

You kept me holdin?on, for

Dear Life, through the healing and scars

Through all you抳e showed me so far

I see how precious you are, Dear Life.

For once I抦 gonna rest in the arms of the unknown

And wait to watch you unfold

Dear Life, from my very first breath,

You were one step ahead

Of where I thought I was going

Dear Life,when I loved and I lost

Somehow at all cost

You kept me holdin?on, for

Dear Life, through the healing and scars

Through all you抳e showed me so far

I see how precious you are, Dear Life.
