I've never been a religious person
Though I kept my heart and my mind open
Never believed there's just one god
But I knew that there was someone up above us
Now I sit here in the rain
It's pouring as I contemplate my own existence

I can't imagine what my life would be like without you by my side
And now I pray to God every night
Because I want you to be alright
I don't want to say goodbye in this lifetime
And now I pray to God you'll be alright
Before I say "goodnight."

I never realized the power of words
I got the news and my stomach churned
I'm so afraid of losing you;
My best friend and protector, too
What would I do?
I remember all those times, and those Colorado nights
I'll never forget them

I can't imagine what my life would be like without you by my side
And now I pray to God every night
Because I want you to be alright
I don't want to say goodbye in this lifetime
And now I pray to God you'll be alright
Before I say "goodnight."
Now I pray to god you'll be alright
And then I say "goodnight."
