I’ll Be Waiting For You

Although your heart may be broken, There’s no need to weep for me.I’m in a wonderful place now,

Where I’m happy and so carefree.

I had to go, but I’ve left behindGood memories to comfort you.

Concentrate on the best times we had,And try not to feel so blue.

For one day we’ll be together again,To laugh and sing and play.

You’ll be so glad to see me again,It will seem I was gone just one day.

So try to lift up your heads now, And dare to set grief aside,

Because I’ll be waiting here for you,To welcome you to the other side.
