I remember the night you slipped away
Father woke me with a tear not knowing what to say
I was just a boy and couldn't believe it was true
I ran out to the other room and laid beside you
It was like you were just asleep as I held your hand in mine
But you were already cold and your soul was in the divine
I curled my little body around yours
And kissed you softly with a sadness that still endures
Everybody knew this time would come, we watched as the days went by
But I was never ready to say goodbye
The memories of you still shine like sunlight on glass
Cutting through all these years that have come to pass
What would you say if you were here today
To see how much everything has changed since you went away
I'll hold you in my heart until my last breath
And maybe we'll see each other again in a place after death
They say that time heals all wounds, but that isn't true
Some things cut deep enough that they take away a part of you
And you're left with this empty space you cannot fill
Mother, the child in me misses you still
And what I wouldn't give to be held in your arms
And feel the warmth of your love that quietly disarms
After all these years I still live with your ghost
When I come to your graveside it's what hurts the most
Sometimes I watch the sky hoping you'll come out Heaven's door
Because I would give anything to just see you once more
The memories of you still shine like sunlight on glass
Cutting through all these years that have come to pass
What would you say if you were here today
To see how much everything has changed since you went away
I'll hold you in my heart until my last breath
And maybe we'll see each other again in a place after death
The cancer silenced what a boy wanted to hear
Just one more I love you before you disappear
But in my heart I know how much you always did
And a part of me died back then when I was just a kid
How I miss you so much,
I hope you're up there high on eagles wings
And you hear this song you're your little boy sings
Goodbye
The memories of you still shine like sunlight on glass
Cutting through all these years that have come to pass
What would you say if you were here today
To see how much everything has changed since you went away
I'll hold you in my heart until my last breath
And maybe we'll see each other again in a place after death
