I know you had to leave us for heaven

It's alright

The living here ain't easy to take now

But it's alright

Don't matter 'cause I will never lose the joy you've given me

Wish I could have told you so

Just once before God set you free

Let it be 'cause



You

(Don't leave me lonely)

No you leave me

(Longing for you)

You

(Don't leave me lonely, oh no)

I'm longing for you



We could have spent more time together

(It's alright, alright)

The things I could have said, now I'll never

It's alright

Don't worry, child

I believe the prayer we prayed for a brighter day

This is why we build our faith on someone

Who never fades away

I'm here to say that



You

(Don't leave me lonely)

No you leave me

(I'm longing for you)

And you

(Don't leave me lonely, oh no)

Longing for you

(Don't leave me lonely)

Don't leave me lonely

(I'm longing for you)

And you

(Don't leave me lonely)

Oh no, and I'm longing for you



Jesus, keep my longing heart from breaking clean in two

Oh, stand by me, Lord, and help me see this through

'Cause a Father knows how bad it feels to lose someone

To lose someone

To lose a son like you



(Don't leave me lonely)

Don't leave me lonely

(I'm longing for you)

Ah, oh!

(Don't leave me lonely, oh no)

Oh no!

(Don't leave me lonely)

You don't leave me lonely, ah

(I'm longing for you)

Ah, you

(Don't leave me lonely, lonely for you)

For you

(Don't leave me lonely

I'm longing for you)

Yeah!

(Don't leave me lonely, oh no)

Longing for you!
