Lyrics

Well the say you had to go now, but I never will know why
'Cause I never got to hold you or to say my last goodbye.
But somehow I feel you near me anywhere that I may be
'Cause your love lives on in me.

There is never any reason why the good are taken young
With so many words unspoken and so many songs unsung.
But I know you do not suffer, and I know your soul is free
And your love lives on in me.

Just like a candle in the night,
You filled my world with golden light.
You were an angel in disguise
And so the angels took you to the sky.

When I sit in meditation, I can see your face again,
Feel the pain of your frustration, hear your laughter in the wind.

And I believe you know my secrets and the truth I try to hide,
'Cause your love lives on inside.

And if my life goes on for year,
I will recall you joy, your tears.
You ran the race, you fought the fight.
You kept your faith inside a higher light.

So I'll keep your mem'ry stirring, I will keep you name live.
I will keep your fire burning in my heart and in my eyes.

And I swear I'll always love you and we'll never be apart.
'Cause your love lives in my heart.
Your love lives in my heart.
Your love lives in...
My Heart!
