She sat there all alone
Black teardrops dripping
she was on the phone
She cried screaming he’s gone
She couldn't’t believe that war had taken all she had loved
The paper remained blank
as she sat there thinking about his beautiful face
Six months ago she never dreamed she’d let him go like that

And now she’s crying cause she’s trying to recall
Whatever he did to deserve this all
This world can be a cruel and vicious place
Taking all you love in a breath and a turn of faith

Two months have passed and gone His clothes still hung beside hers like he never went away
And she still hangs on to pictures of the perfect day when everything changed
It was magical, it was incredible, it was a miracle

And now she’s smiling cause she’s thinking of his face
when she was walking down the aisle that day
This world can be a happy beautiful place
Making dreams come in a breath and a turn of faith.

She’s grown old now but she still keeps him by her bedside
Clinging on to the memories of her great life
And as she lies there with a tear rolling down her cheek, she takes her last breath and whispers to me.

It’s time for me to head off back where I belong
To see my lovely husband by the grace of God
This world can be a very mysterious place making things go by in a breath and a turn of faith

Life passes by in a breath and a turn of faith.

It's basically talking about how life can be amazing at time and difficult at others. We all need to remember that it passes by so quickly that we need to learn to let to go those things and people holding us back in order to enjoy the life we have.
