You never said I'm leaving' , You never said 'goodbye' , You were gone before we knew it, And why, god only knew why, A million times we've needed you , A million times we've cried , If love alone could have saved you , You never would have died , In life we loved you dearly, In death we love you still , In our hearts you hold a place , That no child could ever fill , It broke our hearts to lose you , But you didn't go alone , For part of us went with you, The day god called you home
