My Love, My Life

I was sittin' in the kichen
Just starin' at those papers again
Tryin' hard to understand
Where love had gone
When in she walked
My beat-up guitar in her hand
Eyes so red from cryin'
And she said

(chorus)
Write me a song
That tells of our love
So when I am gone
The words will rise above
No matter what will happen
Or what road I take
I'll have somewhere to run

If only for old times' sake

So I showed her my heart
With my gift with the strings
I only had one chance
To prove that those rings
We wore on our hands
Were all that mattered to me
I promised, forever afterward
To live my life so she could see

Years later, I still keep
My ring on my finger
And I always remember
That she chose this country singer

(chorus)
I wrote us a song
That told of our love
So when we are gone
The words will rise above
No matter what will happen
Or what road we take
We'll have somewhere to run
For our love's sake

(Alternate ending)

Years later I still keep
My ring on my finger
And I'll always remember
How she left this country singer

(chorus)
I wrote her a song
That told of my love
But now that she's gone
The words must rise above
No matter what will happen
Or what roads we may take
She'll have somewhere to run
If for only old times' sake
