[Verse 1] Laying here in a hospital bed… somewhere between the living and the dead! Surrounded by nothing but time and memory… if I leave this world tomorrow, my final thoughts are of family! Remember I loved only one woman my entire life… Shelli my love… my beautiful wife... Thank you for staying during my darkest days… we will be together again in heaven is my deepest prayer! [Verse 2] For my children… I’m always with you… you all share part of me… Please always remember how much I loved each of you… even when I wasn’t near! Family first… family most… family is the only thing that counts… I see each and every one of your faces… in my dreams you bring only smiles… [Chorus] I see you, I love you, I feel you, please do not despair… I walk beside each of you in your darkest hours… oh God I pray that you will take their pain away… Until in heaven we are reunited some day! [Verse 3] Chase, my oldest son… your fire and passion must live on. Jake… your kindness is always a blessing… care for your mother when I am gone. Nicolette, always smart and strong… a proud mother you surely have become. Kaelyn, keeper of the keys… the meaning of your name… your strength and power make you second to none! [Chorus] I see you, I love you, I feel you, please do not despair… I see you, I love you, I feel you, please do not despair… I will always walk beside you in your darkest hour… oh God I pray that you will take their pain away… Until in heaven we are reunited some day! [Verse 4] Remember me always as husband and father and nothing more! Family first is the only thing! No titles or treasures, just love at the core... In your hearts, let my lessons ring. Through trials and triumphs, we stood side by side... Carry that bond, let it be… [Verse 5] In the quiet moments when the world feels cold... hold onto the stories that we've told. Laughter in the kitchen, tears in the rain... through joy and sorrow, we'll meet again. Grandkids I may never meet, tell them of my heart... pass on the love that sets us apart. Shelli, my anchor, my light in the storm... in eternity's embrace, we'll keep each other warm. [Bridge] Carry my spirit in every step you take... For family bonds that even time can't break. [Final Chorus] I see you, I love you, I feel you, please do not despair… I will always walk beside you in your darkest hour… oh God I pray that you will take their pain away… Until in heaven we are reunited some day! Family eternal, where sorrows are no more... my love surrounds you, for ever more!
