It's hard to say goodbye, my friend
But this waiting can last forever
Sooner or later, the sun must set
Ending this time together

I wish that I had one more chance to spend another day with you
But even though I know I can't, I'll see you in heaven
I'll see you in heaven...

(Chorus)

The only thing that hurts more than losing you
Are all of the years of living without you
I wanna run back to you
And show you the life I've lived without you
'Cause living without you is the only thing that hurts more than
you

I see a picture of a little child
Standing alone, wondering where you are
I can't believe how this child has grown
Living this life, sometimes so alone

Wishing I had one more chance to have you hold me once again
And even though I know you can't, you'll hold me in heaven
You'll hold me in heaven

(Chorus)

I've let so many years of life go by, thinking it's all worked
out
Now I realize I do know how to say that it's over, and let you
go for now

Still, I wish that I had one more chance
To say "I love you" one more time
And even though I know I can't, I'll say it in heaven
I'll say it in heaven...
