If I Could Live for You

If I could live for you
I wouldn’t waste a breath
I’d be a little more daring
And do all I haven’t done yet

If I could live for you
I’d finally visit Half Moon Bay
I’d send more hand written letters
And never have a reason to regret what I didn’t say

If I could live for you
I’d see the world through a child’s eye
I would appreciate the smallest miracle
I wouldn’t apologize for asking why

If I could live for you
I’d paint my soul on canvas
I’d dance without a single care
Maybe take up speaking Spanish

If I could live for you
I’d travel to the ends of the earth
I’d see the beauty in the mirror
Never second guess my worth

If you were still here to live for yourself
I know that your story would be the fattest book on the shelf
But sadly your time was taken and now all that I can do
Is say a little prayer and do my best to live for you…
