Not Through Lovin' You
He didn’t see it coming
He only heard her cry
The sound of brakes and metal
Out the corner of his eye
He saw her slumping forward
Before his own eyes closed
He woke up in the hospital
Just as the daylight grows
You’ve got some livin’ left
Some doin’ still to do
You’ve got some goin’ goin’ on
Before this life is through
I need you to hold on
I need you to pull through
You’ve got some livin’ left
I’m not through lovin’ you
His first words were how is she
They bowed their heads and said
We need to keep on prayin’
We will take you to her bed
He held her hand and through the tears
He whispered I love you
I’m here and I’m not leavin’
I’m not through lovin’ you
You’ve got some livin’ left
Some doin’ still to do
You’ve got some goin’ goin’ on
Before this life is through
I need you to hold on
I need you to pull through
You’ve got some livin’ left
I’m not through lovin’ you
Funny how the moments fly
Until time has finally run
In amazement we ask why
As though time had just begun
It did not happen all at once
A finger then a hand
Her eyes began to open
Like seeing light through sand
He held her and touched her hair
As gently as he could
She said I’ve got some livin left
I’m not through lovin’ you
I’ve got some livin’ left
Some doin’ still to do
I’ve got some goin’ goin’ on
Before this life is through
You helped me to hold on
You helped me to pull through
I’ve got some livin’ left
I’m not through lovin’ you
I’m not through lovin’ you
He didn’t see it coming
He only heard her cry
The sound of brakes and metal
Out the corner of his eye
He saw her slumping forward
Before his own eyes closed
He woke up in the hospital
Just as the daylight grows
You’ve got some livin’ left
Some doin’ still to do
You’ve got some goin’ goin’ on
Before this life is through
I need you to hold on
I need you to pull through
You’ve got some livin’ left
I’m not through lovin’ you
His first words were how is she
They bowed their heads and said
We need to keep on prayin’
We will take you to her bed
He held her hand and through the tears
He whispered I love you
I’m here and I’m not leavin’
I’m not through lovin’ you
You’ve got some livin’ left
Some doin’ still to do
You’ve got some goin’ goin’ on
Before this life is through
I need you to hold on
I need you to pull through
You’ve got some livin’ left
I’m not through lovin’ you
Funny how the moments fly
Until time has finally run
In amazement we ask why
As though time had just begun
It did not happen all at once
A finger then a hand
Her eyes began to open

I’m not through lovin’ you
I’ve got some livin’ left
Some doin’ still to do
I’ve got some goin’ goin’ on
Before this life is through
You helped me to hold on
You helped me to pull through
I’ve got some livin’ left
I’m not through lovin’ you
I’m not through lovin’ you
