I know you had to leave us for heaven
It's alright
The living here ain't easy to take now
But it's alright
Don't matter 'cause I will never lose the joy you've given me
Wish I could have told you so
Just once before God set you free
Let it be 'cause
You
(Don't leave me lonely)
No you leave me
(Longing for you)
You
(Don't leave me lonely, oh no)
I'm longing for you
We could have spent more time together
(It's alright, alright)
The things I could have said, now I'll never
It's alright
Don't worry, child
I believe the prayer we prayed for a brighter day
This is why we build our faith on someone
Who never fades away
I'm here to say that
You
(Don't leave me lonely)
No you leave me
(I'm longing for you)
And you
(Don't leave me lonely, oh no)
Longing for you
(Don't leave me lonely)
Don't leave me lonely
(I'm longing for you)
And you
(Don't leave me lonely)
Oh no, and I'm longing for you
Jesus, keep my longing heart from breaking clean in two
Oh, stand by me, Lord, and help me see this through
'Cause a Father knows how bad it feels to lose someone
To lose someone
To lose a son like you
(Don't leave me lonely)
Don't leave me lonely
(I'm longing for you)
Ah, oh!
(Don't leave me lonely, oh no)
Oh no!
(Don't leave me lonely)
You don't leave me lonely, ah
(I'm longing for you)
Ah, you
(Don't leave me lonely, lonely for you)
For you
(Don't leave me lonely
I'm longing for you)
Yeah!
(Don't leave me lonely, oh no)
Longing for you!
