You're Gone

You were young, you were bright, you were beautiful

You were everything anyone could want from a child

You were not suppose to leave this world that way

You were not suppose to leave this world that day

You would scribble down the lyrics of your favorite song

On your notebook in school when your days were long

And it meant so much for me to know

That you meant so much you'll never know

You're gone and we all miss you

Listen to these songs, you're alive in every one

Are you smiling down? Are you still singing?

Were you with us all along?

Do you like what we've become?

Did I meet you in the crowd at one of our shows?

Did I see you in the faces that all come and go?

Did I ever take the time to just say thanks?

Was I too caught up in my life to ask you your name?

The truth about this life is that we're all in it together

That's what you said to me in all your pictures and your letters

Somehow I believe that you have made me better

In my heart I know you're gonna live forever

You're gone and we all miss you

Listen to these songs, you're alive in every one

Are you smiling down? Are you still singing?

Were you with us all along?

Do you like what we've become?

Are you smiling down? Are you still singing?

Everyday that passes by, we celebrate your life

Can you hear us now?

But you we're singing every song that's in our lives

I know we'll never be apart
