lyrics
Roses Red, Violets Blue
Everyday I'm Missing You
Pray For Peace, Pray For Hope
I Pray This Song Will Help Us Cope
(Verse 1)
Lonely days, lonely nights
I’m thinking ‘bout my dearest one
Got your pictures scattered ‘bout
Reminiscing of our fun
You never know the day or hour
So while they’re here, give ‘em their flowers
I’d give it all just to have you back
I’m trying to cope but it hurts too bad
I'm selfish to want you here with me
I hated to see you suffering
I can't let go, I'm miserable
But now you're free and hurt no more
God said He’d wipe our tears away
And He won’t leave us comfortless
Someday I’ll rest in peace with you
I’ll be in heaven with Jesus too
(Chorus)
But how in this world, am I to carry on
And how in this world am I supposed to be strong
And why in the world do I have to let you go
When it's so hard to say goodbye, oh Lord
Tell me how do I cope, yeah
Tell me how do I cope
(Verse 2)
I wish you were here to see me living out my dreams
I know that you’re there smiling down, you’re my angel
Now you glow in amazement
Flying around the firmament
You're beautiful and you're perfect
In your glorified excellence
(Chorus)
But how in this world, am I to carry on
And how in this world am I supposed to be strong
And why in the world do I have to let you go
When it's so hard to say goodbye, oh Lord
Tell me how do I cope, yeah
Tell me how do I cope
(Verse 3)
We must fight the good fight
Take hold of eternal life
With faith believe we'll meet again
Once this life comes to an end
Be no more wars or 9.1.1
No soldiers dying one by one
No storms, disease or poverty
No heartache, strife or bigotry
God said He’d wipe our tears away
And He won’t leave us comfortless
Someday I’ll rest in peace with you
I’ll be in heaven with Jesus too
(Chorus)
But how in this world, am I to carry on
And how in this world am I supposed to be strong
And why in the world do I have to let you go
When it's so hard to say goodbye, oh Lord
Tell me how do I cope, yeah
Tell me how do I cope
...how do I cope?
