I Believe
Diamond Rio Lyrics


Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴  Line by Line Meaning ↴

Every now and then,
Soft as breath upon my skin,
I feel you come back again.

And it's like you haven't been,
Gone a moment from my side.
Like the tears were never cried,
Like the hands of time are holding you and me.

And with all my heart I'm sure,
We're closer than we ever were.
I don't have to hear or see,
I've got all the proof I need.
There are more than angels watching over me.
I believe, oh I believe.

Now when you die your life goes on,
It doesn't end here when you're gone.
Every soul is filled with light,
It never ends and if I'm right.
Our love can even reach across eternity,
I believe, oh I believe.

Forever, you're a part of me.
Forever, in the heart of me.
I will hold you even longer if I can.
Oh the people who don't see the most,
See that I believe in ghosts.
And if that makes me crazy, then I am
'Cause I believe

Oh, I believe
There are more than angels watching over me.
I believe, oh I believe.

Every now and then,
Soft as breath upon my skin,
I feel you come back again.
And I believe.

"I Believe"

Every now and then
Soft as breath upon my skin
I feel you, come back again
And it's like, you haven't been

Gone a moment from my side
Like the tears were never cried
Like the hands of time
Were pulling you, and me

And with all my heart, I'm sure
We're closer than we ever were
I don't have to hear or see
I've got all the proof I need

There are more than angels watching
Over me.. I believe.. ohh, I believe.

Now when you die, your life goes on
It doesn't end here, when you're gone
Every soul is filled with light
It never ends, if I'm right

Our love can even reach, across-
Eternity.. I believe.. ohh, I believe.

Forever, you're a part of me
Forever, in the heart of me
I will hold you even longer
If I can..

Oh, the ppl who don't see the most
See that I, believe in ghosts
If that makes me crazy, then I am
Cuz I believe.. ohh, I believe..

There are more than angels watching
Over me.. I believe.. ohh, I believe.

Every now and then
Soft as breath upon my skin
I feel you, come back again..
And I believe..

I saw Diamond Rio back when my then 15 year old daughter was In Chapel Hill, NC with a brain tumor. They were preforming in the lobby of the hospital. This song brought us to tears. She is 35 years old now, we still believe ❤

@dashcan8479

What? they performed in a hospital?

@freedomovereverything1776

I wish songs were still like this.

@TamieNicholson

Amen God Bless All 🙏

@sparklesthecat6507

Amen Lord ❤

I lost my wife 8 years ago and the tribute video was to this song as it was one of her favorites. Life is precious, turn off the media, ignore the celebrities and politicians. Go out and play ball with your kids, take a walk with the special person, play with your dog. We only get one time around this world so make it count, because it can be gone in an instant!

@dashcan8479

God bless your wife Norman. She walked straight into Heaven

@kalebfarris9066
