It's been a year and it feels like he's still here
In my mind, he talks to me so kind
And I can feel his warm tender hand
Holding mine
He makes me smile and the thoughts are so worthwhile
His jokes so bright and I think all is alright
Until I look in the rising demise
Of his eyes
Oh, please explain why he is yet so far
Oh, can you show me the way to his star
I know it's out there, his precious energy
In the universe, his soul set free
His soul set free
His soul set free
His soul set free
His soul set free
Why did you hurt me? Why let him go
Why did you take him and leave me with this woe
I miss him so much, it hurts to breathe
I miss his voice, Lord, it's just hard to conceive
Why did you take him? Why did he leave
Why did you end his life so quick and make me grieve
I know he wasn't a perfect man and had his flaws
But his mind and kindness will forever be my cause
Oh, Lord, help me deal with this pain
I know it was all in vain if I keep drowning in the feelings
Of desolation and despair
He would have wanted me to move on
Embrace his past and build on his legacy
But this is hard when he's not around
His absence wounds me and my heart feels bound
Why did you hurt me? Why let him go
Why did you take him and leave me with this woe
I miss him so much, it hurts to breathe
I miss his voice, Lord, it's just hard to conceive
Why did you take him? Why did he leave
Why did you end his life so quick and make me grieve
I know he wasn't a perfect man and had his flaws
But his mind and kindness will forever be my cause
I'll always love him and I'll never forget
All the things he taught me and all the love he left
And though he's past, his spirit lives on
I'll always hold him close no matter where he's gone
