I left you believing I’d see you again

Someday in some daydream I couldn’t say when

But life didn’t happen the way that I’d planned

The gift I’d been given slipped out of my hand

With thunder and lightning and pouring-down rain

The night spawns a fright’ning stark nightmare of pain

A dark pit where heartache and anguish abide

I try to escape but find no place to hide

Now your spirit has flown and I’m here all alone still alive

As I stand on my own and I face the unknown I survive

And this too shall pass I once heard someone say

There’s always tomorrow beyond yesterday

Some transit of time to cause sorrow to cease

Some reason or rhyme to restore inner peace

Now your spirit has flown and I’m here all alone still alive

As I stand on my own and I face the unknown I survive

Yes this too shall pass with God’s mercy I pray

I’ll live for each moment and not yesterday

My life I’ll complete... my resolve I’ll increase

I’ll prevail and progress as my grief I release

Now your spirit has flown and I’m here all alone still alive

As I stand on my own and I face the unknown I survive

Called by fate to depart you remain in my heart still alive
