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
