Story Behind The Song
I personally wrote the song to forgive someone I thought had wronged me. I used the song to get to a place of love with them even though we went our separate ways. I didn't want to end it on a sour note & carry resentment with me. So this song was really written so I could let go with love. Most of my fans have used it to say goodbye whether through break-up, divorce or even when loved ones have passed on.
Song Description
The song has been used by folks going through divorce, wanting to forgive others, and most especially at memorials. It's about letting go with love and honoring & taking the best parts that the relationship gave to each person. The first verse introduces the idea of this couple/unit splitting up. The chorus is about remembering the highlights & taking that with them in their new lives alone. The second verse continues to talk about the split up, how their chapter together has ended. The bridge talks about wishing the other person all the love & joy in their new life alone. It's a great song for forgiveness, saying goodbye & letting go with love.

Lyrics
I'll Miss You, I Bless You
Don't mean to scare you away
But I can't pretend my life has not changed
In some ways you might not
Understand or accept
Though it hurts me so much
Goodbye old friend
I'll remember where we've gone
And all the good that we have done
I will bring the best of you
Wherever I go
In all that I do
I'll miss you...I bless you
I'll miss you...I bless you
Our chapter closes my friend
And I don't know how the story might end
But I know there's a calling
I've gotto be strong
And follow this feeling
That's leading me on
Please/Oh remember where we've gone
And all the good that we have done
Bring the best of me with you
Wherever you go
In all that you do
I'll miss you...I bless you
I'll miss you...I bless you
I pray that sunlight & joy fill your days (I pray)
I pray you'll dance through the rain with grace (and I pray)
I pray you'll follow your heart & your bliss (I pray)
I pray the world will grant you every wish (I pray)
I pray that love be the road that you take (I pray)
I pray your life will unfold in amazing ways (I pray)
I pray you might know the glory of you
I pray, oh Lord, I pray
Let's remember where we've gone
And all the good that we have done
Bring the best of me & you
Wherever we go
In all that we do
I'll miss you...I bless you
I'll miss you...I love you
