love lesson (i love you, dad) - michael jason evans lyrics
[verse 1]
the room is quiet
the clock ticks slow
he lies there fading
the end i know
his hand is weak
but his grip still holds
his voice like paper
worn and old
[prechorus]
he says
son
lean in close
don’t cry
here’s a lesson on love before i die
[chorus]
love is the fire that warms your soul
it’s the breaking and the making whole
it’s giving more than you ever take
it’s the ache that you’d never forsake
it’s the breath you give when you’re gasping too
that’s what love is that’s what love will do
[verse 2]
he coughed a laugh
said
let me tell you this
it’s in the moments you almost miss
it’s your mother’s laugh in the kitchen light
it’s holding her hand on a sleepless night
[prechorus]
son
it’s not just joy
it’s pain
it’s tears
but it’s worth every one through all the years
[chorus]
love is the fire that warms your soul
it’s the breaking and the making whole
it’s giving more than you ever take
it’s the ache that you’d never forsake
it’s the breath you give when you’re gasping too
that’s what love is that’s what love will do
[prechorus]
love’s not a prize
it’s never a game
it’s what you give
not what you claim
[chorus]
love’s the fire you stoke when the world feels cold
love is the tear you hide, the hand you hold
it’s not in gold, not in fame
love’s the quiet that calls your name
[verse 3]
he told me of days when he danced with rain
of holding my mother through joy and pain
son
the world will break you
but love will mend
it’s not a treasure
it’s the way you spend
[prechorus]
love’s not a place
it’s the path you take
it’s the vow you keep
not the hearts you break
[chorus]
love is the fire that warms your soul
it’s the breaking and the making whole
it’s giving more than you ever take
it’s the ache that you’d never forsake
it’s the breath you give when you’re gasping too
that’s what love is that’s what love will do
[outro]
my heart broke as i watched him fade
i knew he was going to a better place
and through the tears, i could finally understand
it wasn’t just the words he said than made the man
it’s the way he lived, the way he loved
so grateful for this time we had
i’ll make you proud, i love you, dad
