Departure
 














When tomorrow starts without me
promise...
no teary eyes
His Angel's will be present
lift me
toward the sky

my time on earth had purpose
weep not that I am gone
remember me, our friendship
try to carry on
when I not greet tomorrow
I'll n'er be far away
always there beside you
each, and ev'ry day

tomorrow never promised
that the sun will rise
so when it starts without me
honey,
please don't cry
know my arms will hold you
tho' we'll be apart
my spirit lives
forever
honest, cross my heart

remember me with laughter
good times we have shared
celebrate my being
as though
I'm still right here
weep not for me
in sorrow
dance
with memories
hold tight
our precious moments
allow them
still to be

my journey almost over
but...
I'll visit ev'ry June
there among'st the flowers
with roses in full bloom
I'll be the kiss of springtime
soft whispers 'pon a breeze
when twinkling stars,
light Heaven
there too,
is where I'll be

come here, sit beside me
I have but one more day
hold my hand, be silent
remember yesterdays

let there be no sadness
tears within your eyes
we'll meet again in Heaven
I promise...
bye 'n bye
