Don't know where I was when I first heard

That you had left for parts unknown

I struggled some to find the words

To convince myself that you were gone.

If where we go defies all explanation

In all my pain there came a revelation.

Hearts will break, we cry, we grieve

We die, we go, but never leave

We linger in the lives of those we love

We're flesh and bone in beams of light

A body breaks, a soul takes flight

And faith is left to heal what tears can't touch

You're not gone, just out of sight

You're here with me, wherever you are tonight.

I am better now for who you were

You always found the truth in me

More patient than this world deserves

Everything a friend should be.

If heaven is our final destination

The love we leave behind is our salvation.

Hearts will break, we cry, we grieve

We die, we go, but never leave

We linger in the lives of those we love

We're flesh and bone in beams of light

A body breaks, a soul takes flight

And faith is left to heal what tears can't touch

You're not gone, just out of sight

You're here with me, wherever you are tonight.

We're flesh and bone in beams of light

A body breaks, a soul takes flight

And faith is left to heal what tears can't touch

You're not gone, just out of sight

You're here with me, wherever you are tonight.
