why did it have to end so soon

why did you go away

although i know it may never come true

i hope to see you some day

and i'll always remember

those times that we shared

so if you're listening from up above, this is my prayer



you brought so much joy to this world of mine

whenever i needed you came

a friend like you is so hard to find

without you it won't be the same

and though many will try

no one can ever compare

so if you're listening from up above, this is my prayer



may the mountains rise to meet you

may the skies open wide

know that in my heart, my friend

you will always be alive



there are so many things that i want you to know

so many words to say

and when he finally calls me home

i'll walk with you through those gates

so please remember me

oh i promise i'll see you up there

i hope you're listening from up above, this is my prayer



may the mountains rise to meet you

may the skies open wide

know that in my heart, my friend

you will always be alive



may the angels fly to greet you

you can see it all from up there

i know you're listening from up above

cuz this is and will always be my prayer

my prayer
