| Traffic backed up for a mile on highway five |
| Rain on the windshield, I can see the smokin' flash of lights ahead |
| An 18-wheeler had turned over on its side |
| And pinned underneath it was a car that looked just like the one you drive |
| And I died inside |
|
| For a moment, in an instant, you were gone |
| Not knowing those few minutes felt so long |
| And I prayed you were alright |
| And I could hold you one more time |
| 'Cause God knows that I don't know what I'd do if I lost you |
| If I lost you |
|
| I pulled over on the shoulder of the road |
| My mind was racing, fearing for the worst as I reached for the phone |
| And all I can think about was ever wakin' up |
| And trying to face this world alone |
| And trying to live without your love (without your love) |
|
| For a moment, in an instant, you were gone |
| Not knowing those few minutes felt so long |
| And I prayed you were alright |
| And I could hold you one more time |
| 'Cause God knows that I don't know what I'd do if I lost you |
|
| Did I give you all my best? |
| Believe our love is left unsaid |
| No one else could love me, baby, like you do |
|
| 'Cause God knows what I'd do |
| If I lost you |
| Oh baby, if I lost you |
|
