it's hard to say goodbye, my friend,

but this waiting can't last forever;

sooner or later the sun must set

ending this time together.

i wish that i had one more chance

to spend another day with you,

and even though i know i can

i'll see you in heaven.



the only thing that hurts more than losing you

are all of the years of living without you.

i wanna run back to you

and show you the life i've lived without you,

'cause living without you is the only thing that hurts

more than you.



i see a picture of a little child,

standing alone, wondering where you are.

i can't believe how this child has grown,

living this life, sometimes so alone.

wishing i had one more chance

to have you hold me once again,

now even though i know you can

you'll hold me in heaven.



i've let so many years of life go by

thinking it's all worked out.

now i realize i do now

to say that it's over and let you go for now.

still, i wish that i had one more chance

to say i love you one more time,

and even though i know i can

i'll say it in heaven.



i'll see you in heaven . . .
