Lyrics

Meant To Love You (lyrics)

He left early for work without saying much
He didn't even kiss her goodbye
After work he went to have a few drinks
She packed up her car and she cried

When he finally showed up
She'd heard enough
He stood in the driveway and said

I meant to hold you
I meant to kiss you
I meant to give you the things that you need
I meant to pray more
I meant to drink less
I meant to be the man I'm meant to be
Most of all what I meant to do
I meant to love you
I meant to love you

Last week I saw this guy on the news
His daughter had been missing for days
He was holding her picture and asking for help
Just praying to God she was safe
He reached in his coat
And pulled out a note
He looked in the camera and said, Honey

Chorus

Nobody knows how much time they have left
Life is fragile, there's no guarantees
Starting right now I'm gonna slow down
Make a promise, down on my knees....

I'm gonna hold you
I'm gonna kiss you
I'm gonna give you the things that you need
I'm gonna pray more
I'm gonna drink less
I'm gonna be the man I'm meant to be
Most of all what I'm gonna do

I'm gonna hold you
I'm gonna kiss you
I'm gonna give you the things that you need
I'm gonna pray more
I'm gonna drink less
I'm gonna be the man I'm meant to be
Most of all what I'm gonna do
I'm gonna love you
I'm gonna love you
I'm gonna love you
