I NEVER SAID GOODBYE

I NEVER SAID I’M LEAVING,

I NEVER SAID GOODBYE.

I WAS GONE BEFORE YOU KNEW IT,

AND ONLY GOD KNEW WHY.

SO REMEMBER ME WITH SMILES NOT TEARS,

FOR ALL THE JOY, THROUGH ALL THE YEARS.

DON’T DWELL ON THOUGHTS THAT CAUSE YOU PAIN,

I’M AT PEACE, TRY TO BELIEVE,

IT WAS MY TIME AND I HAD TO LEAVE.

No formal services are planned at this time.
