Sometimes when I'm awake at night
And thunder rocks the skies
I remember how you'd hold me
In your arms so I wouldn't cry
I remember how you told me
That you would never leave
And I was so young and foolish then
It was something that I believed

Now I wish that you could hear me
But you are so far gone
(Gone Before Your Time)
You're farther then my memories
Can remember or hold on

Sometimes I wonder how the years
Could have passed so quickly by
Without me realizing that
I would miss you all the time
The things that matter most in life
Are as simple as can be
The quiet walks when we would talk,
Your warmth, and your company

Now I wish that you were with me
But you are so far gone
(Gone Before Your Time)
You're farther then your memories
Will allow you to hold on

Sometimes when I'm awake at night
And thunder rocks the skies
I remember how you'd hold me
And it makes me want to cry
Gone Before Your Time
Gone Before Your Time
