Lyrics:

                                                  
V1

I've had a lot of losses in life

But just as many gains

Some people I've loved are gone

That cannot be replaced



They held a warm spot in my heart

And on those rainy days

When a sky of tears pour down

As it clears, I can feel their strength



V2

They say they never really leave you

Even though they slip away

Sometimes I look up at the clouds

And I can see a familiar face



Maybe they still watch over me

And I sure hope they do

So I'm not like Humpty Dumpty

Too many pieces to be glued



Prechorus

I count on their love to get me through

Which sometimes can be hard to do, but



Chorus

If I kept a ledger of all life's ups and downs

I'd be more in the black than in the red

Forever was never a promise for anyone

I was luckier than most I've found

Overall, I came out ahead

So for the moment, I will keep, keepin' on

And carry it forward instead

Thanks for the love you gave

I can carry it forward in life



V3

If we keep track through critical eyes

We just might miss the intent

Better keep your eyes on the prize

So you understand what their love meant



Life has a beginning and an end

But the love always continues

We have more than enough to lend

And not just pay our dues



Outro

You got to carry it forward

For all the love you got

Carry it forward

And give love everything you've got
