the love he left behind

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, 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, but till we're back together, i'm living on the love he left behind
