I'm standing in the pouring rain,
praying it will cleanse this pain,
and bring my heart a bit closer to you.
More than distant memories,
like a raging wind or a roaring breeze,
For the days we had I will sing 'Hallelujah'

It's lonely in the room tonight,
but you're still here, my guiding light,
thriving in my heart and in my soul.
Nothing can replace your love,
now forever in the great above,
safe under the Lord's care and control.

Smiling, I think of your gentle touch,
Right now I want it oh so much,
Special life of yours, fragile and so brief.
Oh how I miss you, my heart it breaks,
my spirit weeps, my body quakes,
there's no shortcut when dealing with the grief.

So I'm standing here, it seems, to say
to the One who gives and takes away,
Wondering why this you chose to do.
Your plan is perfect, Your ways are sure,
Your love is endless, Your heart is pure,
so forever I will praise you. 'Hallelujah'

So this is goodbye.
And I don't even know why,
In my tears I just try,
To understand.

You gave me so much,
Never long out of touch,
But now there's confusion
at hand.

You were a brother, a friend,
comrade to the end.
Through the curves and the bends
That came at us.

There was much that we learned,
a few times we got burned.
But we were never concerned,
about status.

So now I'm here and you're not,
in this loneliness spot,
and I'll give what I've got,
to be courageous.

So sweet soul, carry on,
To the place that's beyond.
Not even death breaks the bond
or separates us.
