Collin Raye - Dear Life lyrics

I watched you begin, my child, See you fading in your father's face. For the first time I'm in the mirror, looking both ways At where I've been and where I'm 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've 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'd've never known joy if I never knew sorrow When I didn't 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've showed me so far I see how precious you are, Dear Life. For once I'm 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've showed me so far I see how precious you are, Dear Life.
