I Never Got To Say Good-Bye
I never got to say good-bye, To kiss your cheek once more;
Before God called you to come home, Back through Heaven's door
I wish you were here with me now, But I know it's what God planned.
He needed you more than me, Although it's hard to understand
And I know that where you are, You're smiling, safe and warm.
Protected from any bitter cold, Hatred, hunger or storm
I never got to say good-bye, The hurt, it runs so deep.
How could I know, that on that day You would forever sleep.
Even though I miss you now, More than you'll ever know,
One day I'll hold you in my arms, And never let you go.
But when I get to Heaven, And see your smiling face,
I'll know that it was meant to be, For God to take you from this place.
You can't imagine all the tears I've cried,
I love you more than words can say.
But I am at peace because I know, That you're safe in Heaven today.
I never got to say good-bye, To see that one last smile.
I'll just have to remember, I'll be with you in awhile.
And when I get to Heaven, There's at least one thing I know,
We'll never have to say good-bye, We'll only say... "Hello."
