lyrics
Into the deepest well I've fallen, but I can still hear you calling down to me,
singing
Breathe in. Your heart's still beating that's a start, now you gotta believe you can survive!
The road to the top is full of loose rocks but I'm here to help you climb on, climb on.
Your song keeps echoing, blood starts flowing and I feel strong today.
I can live forward, I'm not afraid to welcome in your memory with the sunrise everyday!
Breathing in, I believe your love is here to stay.
Your hugs I've been missing; your smile, I'm reminiscing on the good, sad, better, bad, happiest moments - death can't take them away from me.
The angel of love brought a bag of old letters full of penciled-in swirls of words I'm remembering: climb on, climb on.
At every stoplight on the way I heard you singing love is stronger than death, I'm not afraid!
To welcome in your memory with the sunrise everyday!
Breathing in I receive.
Breathing out I believe.
At every stoplight on the way, still singing love is stronger than death, I'm not afraid.
To keep on breathing in, I receive. Breathing out, I believe, love is here to stay.
