Yet somehow something tells me You are watching over me Now that from worldly cares Y ou finally are free. I miss you so very much, And my tears I cannot hide Yet, within my heart, I feel you are always by my side. Ever since you went away Life has never been the same Yet, it comforts me to know That one day we'll meet again.
