Now You've Gone

It was a sad time when you left us
You left to be with someone else
Someone who is greater than all
Someone who is special to you
Someone who is special to everyone

When you left I was sad
I still am sad and always will be sad
Sad that you are no longer here with me
Sharing the good times we had together
Helping the family through the bad times

But through my sadness I have hope
Hope of seeing you again
Hope of going to the place you are
Hope of living a life as good as yours
This hope will never fade

Through my hope and sadness
I have memories of you
Memories of things we did together
Memories of things we have said and done
As well as my hope these memories will also never fade

Now you’ve gone I’ll still remember
Still remember the things you said to me
Still remember the love you had for me
Still remember the smile on you face
I’ll always remember you
