Lyrics
Hook
You were here all my life and then you were gone
I never said goodbye
You showed me how to do everything
I never said goodbye
It feels so wrong to live a life without you here
…I never said goodbye
Verse 1
My sister, she told me the news that lonely day.
I never considered I’d here two words that way.
“It’s daddy”, she told me, and the world just isn’t the same
He’s gone now, I’m broken, and no one’s to blame.
Verse 2
I can’t believe I’ll never see your face again
Or never be with you; you were my best friend
I’ll miss you forever and I wish you could hear me say:
Thank you for the good times and all the yesterdays
