I can't look at you
When you're looking at me like that
You're the bravest human being
That I have ever seen
I can't look at you
With tears parading down my face
And swelling fears I can't escape
I cannot loose you
Oh what would I do
Oh what would I do
Oh what would I do without you?
I can't look at you
Without remembering all the times
You pulled me up out of the fire
Fixed my car and changed my tires
I can't look at you
Without remembering who I am
I am the daughter of a man that I look up to
Oh what would I do
Oh what would I do
Oh what would I do without you?
I'm speakin' for my sisters
I'm speakin' for my brothers
I'm speakin' for my mother
And my best friends, too
Oh, my best friends, too
Oh what would I do
Oh what would I do
Oh what would I do without you?

Fragile Heart (Live)

Let the words of my mouth
and the meditation of my heart
Be pleasing to You
When my day turns to night
and the winter frost bites
Be the sun that blankets my moon
A contrite heart You will not despise
And feeble hands You will not deny
The very hands that fashioned the stars
Are the ones that hold this fragile heart
Every blade, every grain, every flower in the field
Knows the sound of Your simple tune
Every dove, every tree, every creature of the deep
Oh, they move to the rhythms of You
A contrite heart You will not despise
And feeble hands You will not deny
The very hands that fashioned the stars
Are the ones that hold this fragile heart
Though my flesh may faint
And my heart may break
And my mind may fail
You are my portion
Though my flesh may faint
Heart may break
Mind might be frail
You are my portion
A contrite heart You will not despise
And feeble hands You will not deny
The very hands that fashioned the stars
Are the ones that hold this fragile heart

Kind eyes, olive skin
Married to the bride you chose
For 56 years and six months
Two sons, fully grown
Married to the prettiest girls you've ever seen
Or have ever known
Everybody loved you
Oh, I really loved you
Every day I miss you
My kids are gonna know
That you were the best
You were the father of my father
You gave us the best
Oh, the father of my father
I learned from the best
From the father of my father
You're above all the rest
Oh, I learned from the best
No, I won't forget
No, I won't forget
I remember searching the crowds
Finding your faithful face every Sunday on the back row
You never left a leaf on your ground
I've never seen a man love working with his two hands
More than you did
Everybody loved you
Oh, I really loved you
Every day I miss you
My kids are gonna know
That you were the best
You were the father of my father
You gave us the best
Oh, the father of my father
I learned from the best
From the father of my father
You're above all the rest
Oh, I learned from the best
You were the best
You were the father of my father
You gave us the best
Oh, the father of my father
I learned from the best
From the father of my father
You're above all the rest
Oh, I learned from the best
No, I won't forget
No, I won't forget

Why do the fields grow?
Who tells the moon to go
When the birds begin to sing?
Where did I come from
and where will I go?
Who counts the lot of the seeds I've sown
When the ground begins to show
My life is not my own
My life is not my own
Blowing in the wind
Carried by the waves
Here for just a minute and then gone in a day
My life is not my own
My life is not my own
Got only one to live
Better make it count
Better make it count
Who caused the sun to shine
In all its brilliance for the first time
Making darkness turn to light?
Who made my human frame
Gave me these thoughts running through my brain
And the blood within my veins
My life is not my own
My life is not my own
Blowing in the wind
Carried by the waves
Here for just a minute and then gone in a day
My life is not my own
My life is not my own
Got only one to live
Better make it count
Better make it count
This isn't about me
But it's about You
It's about You
It's about You
We're gonna reap what we sow
And it's about You
It's about You
It's about You
Give me Your heart if You want to
