Teach Me How

For one second you’re still here
Breathing deeper than you have this whole year
I lie awake haunted by change
And how little time there seems to be in each day
Ah-ah-ah-ah
So teach me how to love more deeply
Teach me how to always reach for the ceiling
Teach me how to take a step over the line
And not live my life without daring to try
So teach me how to walk real tall
And lift my head up high and know that I am strong
Do you know what it’s like to lose your daughter?
Shot down from the sky when she just learned how to fly
I try so hard to remember how to breathe
And how to feel the ground beneath my feet
Ah-ah, ah-ah
I remember when she used to hold me
Her glow as warm as the sunbeams
What I would give for her just to hold me one last time
But now she’s gone and all I have is myself and this fleeting time
Ah-ah-ah-ah
So teach me how to love more deeply
Teach me how to always reach for the ceiling
Teach me how to take a step over the line
And not live my life without daring to try
So teach me how to walk real tall
And lift my head up high and know that I am strong
Do you know what it’s like to lose your daughter?
Shot down from the sky when she just learned how to fly
