“Only Life”

Music and Lyrics by: Michael Riser

I woke up, washed up, and put my favorite blue jeans on
and went on my way, with your heart beat, still inside me
there’s so much, that I learned from you in your brave and final days
now your souls free, but it finds me, and I’m happy while it stays

and if you must leave, It’s like you told me

It’s only, only, only only, only life
and we’re only, only, only, only passing by

for now it’s yours, for now it’s mine, but it’s only life

I saved your letter, for our daughter, from before you went away
how time flies, she’s a woman now, and she feels a woman’s pain
she said, daddy, if he don’t love me, there’ll be no wedding day
and as I held her, you where with us, and I knew the moment came

said you should read this, hope it explains things

It’s only, only, only only, only life
and we’re only, only, only, only passing by

but if he’s not your’s, then he’s not right, for your only life

no matter how hard we try, it isn’t ours to claim
‘cause even the stars burn out, and give up all their flames

It’s only, only, only only, only life, so enjoy the ride
and we’re only, only, only, only passing by, to the other side

for now it’s your, for now it’s mine, it’s our only lives

I woke up, washed up, and put my favorite blue jeans on
with your heart beat still inside me
