I'm Not Alone

You weren’t the reason for day and night

And on occasion I’d pick a fight

But now you’re gone

With the dawn’s early light

And I have no way to say it to you

Your life and mine were so intertwined

For God’s own secrets we searched to find

But now you’re gone

So I’m left behind

And I have no way to say it to you

I promise I will choose my words carefully

The pain you left inside is my own

Just tell me where to look for that old sweet smile

To show me that I’m not alone

Now go beyond the world that we see

To the One waiting for you and me

For now you’re gone

Where everyone is free

And I have no need to say it to you
