This Is Life

I came across a photograph
 That reminded me of how we used to laugh
 I'm looking now through different eyes
 At all I took for granted, won't someone tell me why?
 You got to lose it to know how much it's worth
 We're only given so much time upon this earth
 This is life, this is very precious life
 Don't go throwing it away
 This is life, everybody's got the right
 Hold on to it, it's a gift you can't replace
 I call your name, but you're not there
 Tell me why the world goes on when it's not fair
 And how a broken heart survives
 Oh, I might be letting go now, but I'll never say goodbye
 I am stronger now with every breath I take
 This isn't just another careless twist of fate, no
 This is life, this is very precious life
 Don't go throwing it away
 This is life, everybody's got the right
 Hold on to it, it's a gift you can't replace
 You got to lose it to know how much it's worth
 We're only given so much time upon this earth
 This is life, this is very precious life
 Don't go throwing it away
 This is life, everybody's got the right
 Hold on to it, it's a gift you can't replace
 This is life, this is very precious life
 (Very precious life)
 This is life, this is very precious
 Hold on to it, it's a gift you can't replace
 This is life
 This is very precious (Got to hold on)
 This is life (Hold on)
 Hold on to it
 This is very precious
 This is life (Very precious life, got to hold on)
 This is very precious
 This is life
 This is very precious
