i really have to show you
i am so glad i know you
now we are saying goodbye
i'm not ashamed to cry
but god knows the reason why
you have to leave

i don't know why you must move on
i don't know why but although you'll be gone
you'll stay with me eternally
and wherever you are
even though we're apart
you will be in my heart

i wish i'd known you longer
i wish i'd felt you stronger
you got so much out of life
that's why you were able to give
that's why you were able to live
a life with love

i don't know why fate's unfair
i don't know why they need you up there
you don't have to leave and i will grieve
but i wish you my best
because that's what you gave
and that's what will last
