[English]

you lift me up

you know my name

you fill my cup

I'll never be the same

this light of mine

I'll let it shine

cause you know my name

I'll never be the same again

it's been a while since we talked last

let's keep it real

it seems like everyone's forgotten

but you never will

this life’s a rocky path

that we all move along

still putting flowers by my grave

but you don't stay as long

friends come and go

but i ain’t coming back

it took you 8 months and a therapist to finally come to terms with that

journal every morning

every dream that you run into me

might not hear my voice again(I'll never be the same)

but I'll always be listening

So listen one last time(you lift me up)

as you reading this letter

happiest I've ever been(you know my name)

was when we promised forever

honeymoon was in July(you fill my..)

then i left in September

know that God still has plan(I'll never be the same)

though we no longer together

this light of mine - light of mine

I'll let it shine - it shine

cause you know my name

I'll never be the same again

you told me you couldn't keep living if I died first

I told you God will get you through it

that's how life works

nobody knew me like you did

you could read my thoughts

You were the first to know I'm sick

you felt that somethings off

it started out with a cough

but every day it got deeper

doctors said I'd get better

but I just kept getting weaker

all our dreams put to an end

a final kiss goodbye

now I'll keep waiting for eternity(I'll never be the same)

so take your time

you lift me up

you know my name

you fill my cup

I'll never be the same

this light of mine

I'll let it shine - let it shine

cause you know my name - you know my name

I'll never be the same again

it won't be the same

but it gets easier

keep doing your best

follow the spirit

Jesus gave you

angels guiding your steps

left a piece of me with you

and you’ve been watching it grow

two months until the day

you bring our little girl home

momma and daughter matching outfits

a Christmas alone

missing the feeling of me there

so you still spray my cologne

pushing your stroller through the snow

days are quick to get dark

no one to shovel out the car(I'll never be the same)

so it's been staying in park

don't feel like you're betraying me(you lift me up)

by going on dates

single motherhood is heavy(you know my name)

might need help with the weight

keep on singing to our baby(you fill my cup)

show her pictures of us

as she grows up you can tell her(I'll never be the same)

about the man that I was

this light of mine

I'll let it shine
