So, when tomorrow starts without me
Don’t think we’re far apart
For every time you think of me,
I’m right here in your heart

Farewell words were spoken
We had no time to say goodbye
You were gone before we knew it
And only God knows why

We knew that early morning
That God was going to call your name
In life we loved you dearly,
In death we do the same

It broke our hearts to lose you
You did not go alone
For part of us went with you
The day God called you home

You left peaceful memories,
Your love is still our guide,
And though we cannot see you,
You are always by our side

Our family chain is broken,
And nothing seems the same.
