I used to hold you in my arms, now  Covid says No
I used to kiss you on the lips, this I miss
I used to hold my grandchild she longs my parish arms
I used to shake and high five touchings of hands salutation

Covid doesn't give just takes breaths away

I used to fellowship with my fellow worshipers
Covid tell me now no more gathering
Tells me now how to follow my fellow humans
Government health community says now says must space ourselves

Covid doesn't give just takes breaths away

Standing/walking within 6 feet increments 
You wanna be 6 feet apart standing, rather than 6 feet under
If I sneeze you use to say bless you
I guess Covid already kissed us, now you spit out on us

Covid doesn't give just takes breaths away

I used to go to sports games band concerts
I used to attend weddings and funerals
Now it's less important I don't want to dance with Covid
She's a taker away of my breath
Covid doesn't give just takes breaths away


Then after dead what's next we'll touch, embrace the arms of Jesus
You see Covid my breath you can't have it my breath comes from God
