'Sorry you missed me
I'll get back with you as soon as I can
Thank you and God bless'

Got the news on Friday morning
But a tear I couldn't find
You showed me how I'm supposed to live
And now you showed me how to die
I was lost 'til Sunday morning
I woke up to face my fear
While I'm writing you this goodbye song
I found a tear

I'm gonna miss that smile
I'm gonna miss you, my friend
Even though it hurts the way it ended up
I'd do it all again
So play it sweet in heaven
'Cause that's right where you wanna be
I'm not crying 'cause I feel so sorry for you
I'm crying for me

I got up and dialed your number
And your voice came on the line
That old familiar message
I heard a thousand times 
It just said: 'Sorry that I missed you
Leave a message and God bless'
I know you think I'm crazy
But I had to hear your voice I guess

I'm gonna miss that smile
I'm gonna miss you, my friend
Even though it hurts the way it ended up
I'd do it all again
So play it sweet in heaven
'Cause that's right where you wanna be
I'm not crying 'cause I feel so sorry for you
I'm crying for me

So play your upside-down, left handed
Backwards bass guitar
And I'll see you on the other side
Superstar

I'm gonna miss that smile
I'm gonna miss you, my friend
Even though it hurts the way it ended up
I'd do it all again
So play it sweet in heaven
'Cause that's right where you wanna be
I'm not crying 'cause I feel so sorry for you
I'm crying for me

I'm still crying
I'm crying for me
I'm still crying
