Lyrics
When I needed him most he was always there
with a pat on the back, words of hope or a prayer
The mark he left on my heart
no amount of life could wipe away
He left us in 1984
To join the rest of the family, and be with the Lord
Still amazed at the growth I see
from the seeds he planted in me
When you're gone, you're gone
What's left that carries on?
At the end of your song
yeah the love lives on
When you're free, you're free
What will your legacy be?
The mistakes are erased, washed away with the wrong
and the love lives on
She sent me off with a coat, books and a hug
and a paper bag lunch, all wrapped up in love
She was the rock of my life
and I feel her in my soul always
Heaven called one day and she had to leave
and left us all with a heart full of memories
and every one whose life she touched
would never be the same again
CHORUS
I know there's a heaven
and I believe it's always near
But until we enter forever
We've got just one chance down here
to get it right
to make it right
CHORUS
