For those who have lost someone they loved . . . too early
All the Years You Left Behind
by K. Lynn Lewis
The day began just like any other day,
With promises of hope and joy and love;
But in a moment, I will ne’r forget,
You moved on from earth to life above.
Here’s a song about since you’ve been gone,
And all the times you’ve been on my mind.
I’m so very glad about the blessings that we’ve had,
But, I miss you still, and all the years you left behind.
But, I miss you still, and all the years you left behind.
The years have passed, and my memories are fading,
Though your photographs and letters keep them strong;
I still believe in promises anew each day,
But, deep within, and with me all along,
Is a sad, sad song about since you’ve been gone,
And all the times you’ve been on my mind.
I’m so very glad about the blessings that we’ve had,
But, I miss you still, and all the years you left behind.
But, I miss you still, and all the years you left behind.
Its a sad, sad song about since you’ve been gone,
And all the times you’ve been on my mind.
I’m so very glad about the blessings that we’ve had,
But, I miss you still, and all the years you left behind.
But, I miss you still, and all the years you left behind.
I miss you still, and all the years you left behind.

Though I may be broken and I may get sad,
I will keep on going, I’m not turning back.
‘Cause I know in Heaven there’s no heart attacks,
You and I will be together and we’ll dance and laugh.
No more missing you, no more crying eyes,
no more loneliness, no more last goodbyes.
I miss you now and I want you back,
but I’ll see you soon when we’re both home, dad.
