In 2007, Kelly Clarkson – American Idol’s first winner – met with Florida teen Carissa, sharing with her a dream-come-true. Carissa was born with spina bifida, a birth defect that occurs when a portion of the spinal column fails to develop and close properly. This condition has left Carissa with severe mobility limitations. She must wear leg braces and requires a wheelchair for distance. In addition, Carissa has suffered from hydrocephalus, a condition which causes fluid to build up around the brain.
When she was given the opportunity for a very special wish to come true, she chose to meet Kelly Clarkson, her absolute favorite singer! She was able to watch Kelly perform a live concert before heading back stage for a meet & greet. The two chatted together, posed for pictures, and exchanged gifts. Carissa summed up the experience by saying simply: “This was the best day of my life!”

No, I can't forget this evening
Or your face as you were leaving
But I guess that's just the way the story goes
You always smile but in your eyes your sorrow shows
Yes it shows
I can't live
If living is without you
I can't live
I can't give anymore
I can't live
If living is without you
Can't live
Can't give anymore
Well I can't forget this evening
Or your face as you were leaving
But I guess that's just the way the story goes
You always smile but in your eyes your sorrow shows
Yeah, yes it shows
Can't live
If living is without you
Can't live
I can't give anymore
Can't live (no, can't live)
If living is without you (No, I can't live)
Oh, I can't live
Can't give anymore, oh
(No, can't live)
(No, I can't live)
No, oh yeah, no, no, no, no, no
I can't live
Or your face as you were leaving
But I guess that's just the way the story goes
You always smile but in your eyes your sorrow shows
Yes it shows
I can't live
If living is without you
I can't live
I can't give anymore
I can't live
If living is without you
Can't live
Can't give anymore
Well I can't forget this evening
Or your face as you were leaving

If living is without you
Can't live
I can't give anymore
Can't live (no, can't live)
If living is without you (No, I can't live)
Oh, I can't live
Can't give anymore, oh
(No, can't live)
(No, I can't live)
No, oh yeah, no, no, no, no, no
I can't live
Blue, I'm getting kinda close to you
Like a shadow I can't lose
Hey, you've been hangin' with me every day
Now you're gettin' in my way
I know you understand me
But don't ya think that maybe it's time to move on
[chorus]
What's up lonely
Seems you're my only
Friend who wants to share my pain
Tell me heartache
What's it gonna take
For you to leave me alone today
Just when I think that you're gone
You're in the mirror lookin' back at me
So what's up lonely
Sometimes, I wish you weren't by my side
Can't you find another shoulder, cause I
I wanna leave this broken heart behind
We been wastin' too much time
Find someone else to rain on
I'm really getting' tired of singin' this sad song
[chorus]
Don't wanna give you a reason
To hang around anymore
You won't be hurting my feelings
If you find another broken heart you can lean on
Like a shadow I can't lose
Hey, you've been hangin' with me every day
Now you're gettin' in my way
I know you understand me
But don't ya think that maybe it's time to move on
[chorus]
What's up lonely
Seems you're my only
Friend who wants to share my pain
Tell me heartache
What's it gonna take
For you to leave me alone today
Just when I think that you're gone
You're in the mirror lookin' back at me
So what's up lonely
Sometimes, I wish you weren't by my side
Can't you find another shoulder, cause I
I wanna leave this broken heart behind
We been wastin' too much time
Find someone else to rain on
I'm really getting' tired of singin' this sad song
[chorus]
Don't wanna give you a reason
To hang around anymore
You won't be hurting my feelings
If you find another broken heart you can lean on
