Never Left
Verse 1
My heart broke and shattered
On the open road.
The day I first heard
you were gone.
The million stories you told are
All kept in the shards of my heart.
This road seems endless
And covered with heartless shadows
Without you by my side.
But I still feel you near
It's like you're still here
Chorus
you could've stayed a little longer
And help us stay a little stronger
But God had better things in mind.
The kind words you've said will stay in my heart and
Your legacy will carry on
Through those whose lives you touched
You taught us to be fighters
In our own fight of life
It's like you never left
Verse 2
Remember when we first met
I was a little guy who never knew
how to stand on his own two feet.
You taught me how to stay strong
when life got the best of me.
Your memory is still here.
Now I can stand on my own
Cause you're here helping me
Chorus
you could've stayed a little longer
And help us stay a little stronger
But God had better things in mind.
The kind words you've said will stay in my heart and
Your legacy will carry on
Through those whose lives you touched
You taught us to be fighters
In our own fight of life
It's like you never left
Verse 3
I hear your voice in the darkest silence
And I whisper back in sweet correspondence.
Your words guide me through the darkness
And comfort me in my sadness.
When the fog never cleared
Just like the old days
When you were still here.
But I know I'll be okay
Bridge
When life gets rough
I remember what you taught me
That being strong
Wasn't about how tough I was.
It was all about never giving up
Chorus
you could've stayed a little longer
And help us stay a little stronger
But God had better things in mind.
The kind words you've said will stay in my heart and
Your legacy will carry on
Through those whose lives you touched
You taught us to be fighters
In our own fight of life
It's like you never left
Ending
Thank you for the things you've done
I still can't believe you're gone.
