See You Later

[Verse 1] The house still holds your laughter Like sunlight trapped in old frames Every room remembers pieces Whispers softly calling your name And though the days keep turning The world keeps moving on There’s a place inside that’s missing Since the day that you were gone [Pre-Chorus] I know you’d tell me not to carry Every sorrow on my own You’d wipe away these tears and say “I’m never far from home” [Chorus] So this isn’t goodbye No, goodbye’s too final for me You’re the song inside my heartbeat The wind that dances through the trees You’re every cherished memory Every lesson, every smile Though I can’t hold your hand today I’ll hold your love a little while Until the day we meet again Beyond what eyes can see This isn’t goodbye It’s just see you later to me [Verse 2] Some knew you for a lifetime Some only for a day But every soul you’ve ever touched Still carries you some way In stories told at midnight In photographs and songs In the quiet moments when we wish You could still come along [Pre-Chorus] And every tear that’s fallen Comes from a love that still remains The price of having known you Is learning how to bear the pain [Chorus] So this isn’t goodbye No, goodbye’s too final for me You’re the song inside my heartbeat The wind that dances through the trees You’re every cherished memory Every lesson, every smile Though I can’t hold your hand today I’ll hold your love a little while Until the day we meet again Beyond what eyes can see This isn’t goodbye It’s just see you later to me [Bridge] The seasons change around us The years may fade the scars But not the light you left behind Still shining from the stars And if Heaven keeps a doorway I know someday I’ll find The faces that I miss today Waiting just beyond time (Soft piano and violin interlude) [Final Chorus] So this isn’t goodbye No, goodbye’s too final for me You’re the strength inside my weakness The part of who I’ll always be You’re every cherished memory Every tear and every smile And though your chair sits empty now Your love still walks each mile We’ll carry you forever In our hearts, our souls, our minds This isn’t goodbye It’s only see you later this time [Outro] See you later, my friend See you later, my love See you later, my family Until we meet above Your memory lives on In every breath I take This isn’t goodbye It’s a promise we’ll make
