“When it comes to the future, I think what you’re thankful for is just another day, right? Let me do it,” Brooks told Clarkson (41).

“I think this is it,” he said with teary eyes. “What I’d like to say is the day I take my last breath on this planet, I’d like my three little girls to be by my side and I’d like the Queen to be near me.”

Brooks is the father of daughters Taylor, 31, August, 29, and Allie, 27, with ex-wife Sandy Mahl. (The two college girls married in 1986 and separated in 1999, before divorcing in 2001.)

The father-of-three added in his interview with Clarkson, “But as for Miss Yearwood… you know, I’ve said this before, I found her in a past life, I’ll find her in the next.”

“She makes it fun. She makes it really fun,” Brooks said.

“It’s amazing though. It’s such a beautiful love between you two,” Clarkson told him. “And you cry and make me cry, and my makeup artist will kill me…”

“I’m not crying!” insisted Brooks, still looking teary-eyed and sniffling.

“Yes you are! I love it,” teased Clarkson.

Brooks and Yearwood met in 1987 as young artists on set in Nashville. The pair became best friends and collaborators for the next 13 years as they performed together and appeared on each other’s albums before finally tying the knot in December 2005.

Last month, the couple collaborated on another charity project as they hosted the Jimmy and Rosalynn Carter Work Project, where they built 27 affordable homes for single families in Charlotte, North Carolina.

Speaking about how they got involved with the organization, Yearwood told PEOPLE, “After [Hurricane Katrina], we fell in love with Habitat for Humanity. We knew we loved the Carters and fell more in love with them the more we got the chance to work with them. We love what Habitat for Humanity is all about: spreading the love. It’s about creating community.”

“They inspired us in many ways, in ways you’d expect: humanity, humility, work ethic. But they also inspired us by their example as husband and wife,” Brooks explained. “We’ve worked with them for the last 15 years and you immediately notice that they’re arguing about the right way to do things. That works for us too!”

Rosalynn, a lifelong advocate for mental health and human rights, died surrounded by her family on Sunday, two days after entering hospital following a dementia diagnosis in May. She was 96 years old.
