The Love He Left Behind lyrics - Chely Wright

I talk to him everyday

Even though he's oh-so-far away

And every night I lay in bed

And hug the pillow where he laid his head

And in my dreams I drift back to that high school kiss

And the night he put his class ring on my hand

I see our wedding day and it takes my breath away

Once again, like it did back then

[Chorus:]

I'm living on the love her left me

And he gave me so much love in such a little time

And that kind of love is hard to find

One day we'll meet again in that sweet by-and-by

But till we're back together

I'm living on the love he left behind

Our little boy down the hall

Is trying to teach me how to play baseball

Yesterday, I got choked up

When he said, Mommy, You use daddy's glove

I turned down a thousand bucks

For his old pick-up truck

I'm hangin' on to everything that's part of him

I'll hold him in my heart

Till I can hold him in my arms

Once again

But till then

[Chorus]

But till we're back together

I'm living on the love he left behind
