When I Think I Can'T Go On

(Chorus)
When I think I can't go on
I always think of you,
hold your memory in my heart
days when I'm feeling blue.

(Verse)
I've been missing you
for such a long time,
trying to find comfort
I've had many hills to climb.
I cried a million tears
you never leave my mind,
trying to see that silver lining
knowing I'll be with you in time.

(Chorus)
When I think I can't go on
I always think of you,
hold your memory in my heart
days when I'm feeling blue.

(Verse)
I remember losing you
oh, so many years ago,
I'd give anything to hear your voice
I think I hear it when the wind blows.
It may be my mind
just playing tricks on me,
and if it truly is
I wish it would let me be.

(Chorus)
When I think I can't go on
I always think of you,
hold your memory in my heart
days when I'm feeling blue.

(Verse)
I turn to God
ask Him to heal my heart,
brush these tears from my cheek
because my loved one did part.
He whispers in my ear
and says, "Feel no more pain,
your loved one watches over you
wraps you in warmth when it rains."

(Chorus)
When I think I can't go on
I always think of you,
hold your memory in my heart
days when I'm feeling blue.

I suffered with quite a lot since losing my father on Father's Day of 2007, my mom, less than a year later, in May of 2008, my grandfather in January of 2011, my uncle, in January of 2014 and my grandmother in July of 2014.

These are beautiful lyrics, Cynthia. Many times in life we feel as if the world is crumbling around us, but faith and hope are available to lead us through bad patches. I can relate to your family losses; they will always be with us in spirit. ~ Best regards // paul
