it's hard to say goodbye, my friend,
but this waiting can't last forever;
sooner or later the sun must set
ending this time together.
i wish that i had one more chance
to spend another day with you,
and even though i know i can
i'll see you in heaven.

the only thing that hurts more than losing you
are all of the years of living without you.
i wanna run back to you
and show you the life i've lived without you,
'cause living without you is the only thing that hurts
more than you.

i see a picture of a little child,
standing alone, wondering where you are.
i can't believe how this child has grown,
living this life, sometimes so alone.
wishing i had one more chance
to have you hold me once again,
now even though i know you can
you'll hold me in heaven.

i've let so many years of life go by
thinking it's all worked out.
now i realize i do now
to say that it's over and let you go for now.
still, i wish that i had one more chance
to say i love you one more time,
and even though i know i can
i'll say it in heaven.

i'll see you in heaven...
