Pray Down on My Knees

Sometimes the world around you seems to fall apart; life is certainly not fair
I remember the day our world came crashing down and our dreams were taken away
You stared squarely at the face of death, but I refused to accept it and just wanted you to hang on
From daughter to grandmother and everything in-between
You were the most beautiful woman I had ever seen

As I look to the stars in heaven I wonder why
Only God has the power to make the decision to live or die

Now I kneel beside you and I pray down on my knees
Then I hold your hand, just begging you to breathe

The days may seem long but our years on Earth are really few
And we never know when we'll walk our last mile or live our last hour
I know we can't turn back the hands of time but, I remember the first night our eyes met
And I'll never forget holding your hand as you took your last breath

I would give anything to have you live for one more day
And as I deal in a world without you baby, I wipe the tears away

Now I kneel beside you and I pray down on my knees
Then I hold your hand, just begging you to breathe

I'll never forget you for that I'm sure; as for the loss, there is no cure
I knew from the start that only death could keep us apart
And now, you may be gone from my sight, but, never from my heart

I would give anything to have you live for one more day
And now I wish you were here to help me baby, wipe the tears away

As I kneel beside you and pray down on my knees
And as I held your hand, I just begging you to breathe

Now I kneel beside you and pray down on my knees
And as I hold your hand I'm just begging you to breathe
