THE LIFE YOU GAVE ME
©2009 Lezlee Monroe
It happened so fast
You were there then you were gone
You were my best friend,
Now I’m the one left to be strong
You taught me how to fly
But how can I spread my wings
With this hole in my life?
I can hear you sayin’, “It’s all right,” to

CELEBRATE THE MOMENTS I CRY
REFLECTING BACK ON YOUR LIFE
AND ALL THE GIFTS YOU GAVE US
TAKE THE TORCH AND CARRY IT HIGH
SPREAD THE LOVE LIKE YOU DID
IN THE WAY THAT ONLY I CAN GIVE
IT’S TIME TO TAKE THE LIFE
YOU GAVE ME AND LIVE (celebrate)

I feel you close sometimes
yet I miss you so
Now I’m reaching out for something much bigger I know
It seems like every day I run into someone who
Was touched by you
Those are times I wish you could stay and CHORUS
I miss your poetry and
yet it still lives on in me
I feel the bliss through
the pain of it all when I

CHORUS (TAKE THE TORCH AND LIFT IT SO HIGH)
It’s time to take the life
you gave me and live
It’s time to live the
life you gave me and give
