Story of Your Life

I’m staring at this paper

Staring into space

Put in a position

That I can hardly face

I guess that I could start

With the day that you were born

Fill in all the whos and whens

But I know there’s so much more

So how do I take

The story of your life

Fit it all onto a page

So we can say goodbye

My words won’t do it justice

I’m afraid to even try

How do I tell

The story of your life

The day you lost your momma

I always heard it broke your heart

The day my grandpa left you

I know it tore your world apart

But somehow you found the courage

Somehow you found the strength

To put a smile on your face

And carry all the weight

So how do I take

The story of your life

Fit it all onto a page

So we can say goodbye

My words won’t do it justice

I’m afraid to even try

How do I tell

The story of your life

I can see you in my momma

I see you more inside of me

If you’re lookin’ down from heaven

You know I miss you terribly

So how do I take

The story of your life

Fit it all onto a page

So we can say goodbye

I know my words won’t do it justice

But I promise that I’ll try

How do I tell

The story of your life

I’m so grateful that I get to be

In the story of your life
