Press On
The orchid that you gave me
On valentine's day
Is still so alive,
Though you've gone away.
Nothin' much is different,
Yeah everything has changed.
If I could only tell you
It feels so strange.
But life has moved on
Like I guess it should,
But I stop and think of you
On times when I know you would have
Smiled or laughed or had
Somethin' smart to say.
I still hear your voice
Like it was yesterday.
You'd tell me:
Go ahead girl,
Keep pressin' on.
Can't be sure of tomorrow,
And yesterday's gone.
Live so you're happy;
Take good care of you.
Since you've been gone,
That's what I've tried to do.
Oh yeah
Now I've been makin' changes
Writin' down how I feel.
Just like you wanted;
Trynna make my dreams real.
You taught me to believe in
The possibilities
And not to let the little things
Get the best of me.
Well life has moved on
Like I knew it would.
Some days are hard for me,
But some days are good.
I carry these gifts you gave me
Along the way.
Keeping you in my heart
And hearing you say:
Go ahead girl,
Keep pressin' on.
Can't be sure of tomorrow,
And yesterday's gone.
Live so you're happy;
Take good care of you.
Since you've been gone,
That's what I've tried to do.
I hope you can see
How hard I'm tryin'.
I hope you are proud
Of how strong I'm bein'.
I may not have your shoulder
To lean upon,
But I keep your words in my heart,
And I'm pressin' on.
Go ahead girl,
Keep pressin' on.
Can't be sure of tomorrow,
And yesterday's gone.
Live so you're happy;
Take good care of you.
Since you've been gone,
That's what I've tried to do.
Oh yeah
Go ahead girl,
Keep pressin' on.
Can't be sure of tomorrow,
And yesterday's gone.
Live so you're happy;
Take good care of you.
Since you've been gone,
That's what I've tried to do.
Go ahead girl,
Keep pressin' on.
Can't be sure of tomorrow,
And yesterday's gone.
Live so you're happy;
Take good care of you.
Since you've been gone,
That's what I've tried to do.
I said since you've been gone,
That's what I've tried to do.
