The orchid that you gave me On valentine's day Is still so alive, Though you've gone away. Nothin' much is different, Yeah everything has changed. If I could only tell you It feels so strange. But life has moved on Like I guess it should, But I stop and think of you On times when I know you would have Smiled or laughed or had Somethin' smart to say. I still hear your voice Like it was yesterday. You'd tell me: Go ahead girl, Keep pressin' on. Can't be sure of tomorrow, And yesterday's gone. Live so you're happy; Take good care of you. Since you've been gone, That's what I've tried to do. Oh yeah Now I've been makin' changes Writin' down how I feel. Just like you wanted; Trynna make my dreams real. You taught me to believe in The possibilities And not to let the little things Get the best of me. Well life has moved on Like I knew it would. Some days are hard for me, But some days are good. I carry these gifts you gave me Along the way. Keeping you in my heart And hearing you say: Go ahead girl, Keep pressin' on. Can't be sure of tomorrow, And yesterday's gone. Live so you're happy; Take good care of you. Since you've been gone, That's what I've tried to do. I hope you can see How hard I'm tryin'. I hope you are proud Of how strong I'm bein'. I may not have your shoulder To lean upon, But I keep your words in my heart, And I'm pressin' on. Go ahead girl, Keep pressin' on. Can't be sure of tomorrow, And yesterday's gone. Live so you're happy; Take good care of you. Since you've been gone, That's what I've tried to do. Oh yeah Go ahead girl, Keep pressin' on. Can't be sure of tomorrow, And yesterday's gone. Live so you're happy; Take good care of you. Since you've been gone, That's what I've tried to do. Go ahead girl, Keep pressin' on. Can't be sure of tomorrow, And yesterday's gone. Live so you're happy; Take good care of you. Since you've been gone, That's what I've tried to do. I said since you've been gone, That's what I've tried to do.
