"I really have to show you
I am so glad I know you
Now we are saying goodbyes
I,m not ashamed to cry
But Godknows the reason why
You have to leave
I don't know you must move on
I don't know why but all though you'll be
Gone
Youll stay with me eternally
And wherever you are
Even tough were apart
You will be in my heart
Instrumental
I wish I'd known you longer
I wish I'd felt you stonger
You got so much out of ligfe
That's why you were able to give
That's why you were able to live
A life with love
I don't know why fates unfair
I don't know why they need you up there
You have to leave and I will grieve
But I wish you my best
Because that's what you gave
And that's what will last"
