I’ll Never Say Good-Bye 

I wonder if you wondered, why I wasn’t there that day 
When the family gathered ‘round you and they began to pray 
Hallelujahs dancing in my head, I heard the last refrain 
I built a wall around my heart to shield me from the pain 
 
Now years have passed, but like the last, the past resides in me 
I just can’t face what I would lose, your love and legacy 
as long as birds still sing your song and greet the morning light 
I don’t believe I’ll ever, find the words to say good-bye 
 
Chorus: 
For you’re the one who taught me, I could surely have it all 
Hold tightly to the reins of faith, should fear cause you to fall 
Remember in the darkness, a star begins to shine 
 Trusting in the Father, never let those fears define 
Who you are, or what you do 
Blaze the skies with dreams come true 
There'll be rainbows after the rain 
I'll find my power living through the pain.... 
As lonesome doves sing songs of love, and weeping willows cry 
I’ll hold you close within my heart and never say good-bye 
    
Morning glories greet me as sunlight warms my face 
A little glimpse of heaven and God’s amazing grace 
Thru' the angels you have spoken, tho' we're a million miles apart 
Music’s not just what you do, it’s the voice within your heart 
 
chorus
 
Tag: 
As lonesome doves sing songs of love, and weeping willows cry 
I’ll hold you close within my heart and never say good-bye 
I’ll hold you close within my heart and never say good-bye
