Dear Life Lyrics - Collin Raye

(G. Lesage/C. Dannemiller) 

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
