How did it ever come to be
That you became a part of me?
I started out my life alone
Content to live life on my own
But then I fell in love with you
As time went on, that’s when I knew
It was our destiny to meet
Your love for me made me complete
Our wedding day, I joined with you
And since you died, I’m split in two
Yes, we were one and now I see
Since you’ve been gone, I’m half of me
I’ve gone on with my life alone
I’ve made my way now on my own
But often when the day is through
I feel so empty without you
A song can bring a memory
That makes me think of you and me
Or some dumb thing we used to do
Will stir the pain of missing you
A simple thing you used to say
Will pop into my head each day
A vision of your smiling face
Will come to me most any place
And even though it’s been so long
It still can shock me that you’re gone
And once again I feel such fear
That I can’t live without you here
The hardest thing I’ve ever done
Is live my life since you’ve been gone
And, yes, I know you’re in my heart
Our spirits, they will never part
But how I long to see you here
To touch you, hear you, feel you near
To look into your eyes and see
My love for you mirrored back to me
It’s true, I’m stronger every day
And I’ll survive along the way
I’ll live a full life on my own
I’ll make it okay here alone
So, yes, I’m fine; oh sure, I’ll live
I’ll give life all I have to give
But deep inside, I know it’s true
I’m half a person without you
