Missing You AlwaysYou never said I'm leavingYou never said goodbye,

You were gone before we knew itAnd only God knows why.

A million times I needed youA million times I cried,

If love alone could have saved youYou never would have died.

In life I loved you dearlyIn death I love you still,In my heart I hold a placeThat only you can fill.

It broke my heart to lose youBut you didn't go alone,

As part of me went with youThe day God took you home.
