[Verse 1] The room is barely breathing And my hands are bone and stone You sit there by the window Like the last good light I know I ain’t got much time left But I got one thing to say You were my home, my answer Every mile along the way [Pre-Chorus] You held me through the hard years You kept my faith in line If I had one wish tonight I’d spend it all on time [Chorus] You were everything to me Everything to me My first prayer, my last song Everything to me When I cross that river wide Save me a place, keep the light on You were everything to me Everything to me [Verse 2] I still see your Sunday dress And that porch swing in the rain Your laugh in the kitchen Your hand easing all my pain I used to chase tomorrow Like it owed me something new But every road I ever wanted Was the one that led to you [Pre-Chorus] Now the morning’s almost breaking And I can hear that choir rise Feels like heaven’s door is opening Right behind your eyes [Chorus] You were everything to me Everything to me My first prayer, my last song Everything to me When I cross that river wide Save me a place, keep the light on You were everything to me Everything to me [Bridge] If I leave before you do Don’t you wear that hurt too long I’m gonna sit right by the angels And wait on your old love song When your steps get close to mine I’ll know by the way you shine [Final Chorus] You were everything to me Everything to me My first prayer, my last song Everything to me When I cross that river wide I’ll be smiling on the other side You were everything to me Everything to me
