You Never Said Goodbye
You never said “I’m leaving”
You never said “goodbye”
You were gone before I knew it,
And only God Knew why
A million times I needed you,
A million times I cried,
If love alone could have saved you,
You never would have died.
In life I loved you dearly,
In death I love you still.
In my heart you hold a place,
No one else can ever fill.
It broke my heart to lose you,
But you didn’t go alone
Part of me went with you,
The day God took you home.
