**You Would Have Loved This** [Verse 1] Something good has happened. For a moment, all I knew Was the old familiar feeling: I couldn’t wait to tell you. I wanted all your questions, The ones I knew you’d ask. I wanted you to hear me smile And hear you smiling back. [Chorus] You would have loved this. I know what you would say. I’d tell you every little thing. You’d let it take all day. Everybody says you’d be so proud. I wish that that could be enough. You would have loved this. I would have loved that. [Verse 2] There are things I never thought I’d do That now feel part of me. I wonder what would make you laugh And what you’d always seen. I’m still becoming someone I thought you’d get to meet. I want to tell you what has changed And what I got to keep. [Chorus] You would have loved this. I know what you would say. I’d tell you every little thing. You’d let it take all day. Everybody says you’d be so proud. I wish that that could be enough. You would have loved this. I would have loved that. [Bridge] Someone tells me what they hope for, Then says it might not come to be. I hear myself say, “You should try,” The way you used to say to me. For a moment, I can hear you In the words I’ve just passed on. I’m glad I have that much to give. I still hate that you are gone. [Final Chorus] You would have loved this. There’s so much I could say. I don’t have to hide the happiness Because you couldn’t stay. I can love what life is giving And still wish you could share in that. You would have loved this. I would have loved that. [Outro] Something good has happened. I’m happy that it’s true. I wish that I could tell you. I wish that you were too.
