Rebekah Ruyle - I Am Because You Were Lyrics

I'm at a loss for words
I'll never forget what I just heard
The doctor came to tell us that you departed
Oh every time you cross my mind I'm broken hearted
Now I just wanna be someone you'd be proud of
I'm working on a better me, being filled with love
You were the light in my life
And knowing that, I can get through this strife
I know that this was meant to be
But you will always be a father to me
I always thought you'd be there to walk me down the aisle
You'd send me off and watch me face my trials
You'd teach me in hard times to pray
And look to God when I can't seem to find my way
Now I just wanna be someone you'd be proud of
I'm working on a better me, being filled with love
You were the light in my life
And knowing that, I can get through this strife
I know that this was meant to be
But you will always be a father to me
But now you're gone
I just gotta move on
I am Because You Were
So I just wanna be who you were
