Without ever saying goodbye.
Without ever saying why.
You departed from this life.
Leaving us all behind.
From your friends to your enemies,
Tears fell from our eyes.
Not a heart was left unbroken.
Not an eye was left dry.
We all sat together grieving,
Remembering scenes from our past.
Wishing we could go back.
Praying these thoughts would last.
Desperately we hold on,
Hoping never to forget,
These thoughts that hold your story,
From the eyes of everyone you've met.
We understand that you are gone, but these memories help us see,
The smile on your face and times we shared every night we dream.

Without ever saying goodbye.
Without ever saying why.
You departed from this life.
Leaving us all behind.
From your friends to your enemies,
Tears fell from our eyes.
Not a heart was left unbroken.
Not an eye was left dry.
We all sat together grieving,
Remembering scenes from our past.
Wishing we could go back.
Praying these thoughts would last.
Desperately we hold on,
Hoping never to forget,
These thoughts that hold your story,
From the eyes of everyone you've met.
We understand that you are gone, but these memories help us see,
The smile on your face and times we shared every night we dream.
