Andy Gullahorn - How Precious Life Is lyrics

We moved the desk out of the office Took down the college picture frames Painted all the walls yellow Because it goes with anything Put those guards on all the outlets Found a safer car to buy Did it all for your protection And your mama's piece of mind I couldn't see it ‘til now You were teaching us then How precious life is I saw you in that picture When they said you were a boy Though I swore I had no preference Those words filled my heart with joy My mind raced ahead a decade It had us camping near a fire Where you'd tell me all your troubles And I'd make everything alright I couldn't see it ‘til now You were teaching us then How precious life is God willing if we have another child I'll see it for the miracle it is I'll be hanging on to every blessed breath ‘cause I can't forget How precious life is I thought I knew what pain was But I really had no clue Until the hope was disappearing And there was nothing we could do I was too tired to shout in anger Too scared to run and hide I just stared there at your mother And thanked God she was alive I couldn't see it ‘til now You were teaching us then How precious life is
